Thank you, Seow. You have correctly realised what my problems/queries were, including the synonymised L. martha samuina.
I was also going to mention that Pinratana's Volume 3 (1996) of Butterflies of Thailand states for L. martha malayana...."DISTRIBUTION: Peninsular Thailand, where there is a zone of intergradation extending into the north of the Malay Peninsular. Occurs typically in Malay Peninsular south of Kedah River".
It makes me wonder whether they should be considered separate subspecies at all!
