It is considered as ssp parkeri.
Lebadea martha is widely variable & intermediates occur with all the subspecies.
Typical ssp malayana have no mauve colour on the HW & can be very dull ochreous brown.

Ssp parkeri always have mauve colour & suffusion on the HW.

Ssp martha (Langkawi & northwards.) have HW strongly reddish brown.
