This is a small species.

2 is probably A. horsfieldi. There is probably a dislocation between the two triangular spots & the colour is also more beige.
TL Seow: Cheers.
PS. Here is the holotype of A. davidus from Singapore. Fig 6 & another 7, the paratype from south Johor.
The black spot is not prominent.

Your A. davidus may be another A . substrigosus.
Dear Dr Seow & Antonio,
Thanks a lot for the inputs. It is so difficult to ID some butterflies without the help of experts. Cheers!
