1. Eurema hecabe hecabe .
The FW upperside black border can be made out to be strongly excavated on the inner margin as in E. hecabe.
E. heacabe has a more quadrate HW, more angular ,the margin straight from v1b to about v4. FW typically with 2 cellspots.

TL Seow: Cheers.
Thank you so much Dr. Seow
1. The absence of (or not very apparent - may be) cell spot in the Eurema species caused the confusion in me.
Now I am very clear it is Eurema hecabe hecabe.
2. Thanks for the id pointers of Neptis hylas and Neptis jumbah.
