Photographed in Mae Hong Son this week, nw Thailand. I cannot decide if this is E. kanda or E. merta as have no experience of either in the field. Would be grateful for opinions please. I am leaning toward E. merta as the underside hindwing appears to have dots on the sub-marginal edge rather than dashes.
Many thanks

Euthalia merta.
Normally in E. merta the arrowheads point outwards but this can be difficult to see as here.
The FW postdiscal band widen & contain a short dark bar at the upper costal end.

E. kanda; This short bar at the upper end of the band is absent.
