    You seems to have found something new.

    1 is not Eurema simulatrix.
    In simulatrix the forewing cell have 2 'spots'. & the hindwing base of space 7 is strongly marked with a spot (base of where the round spot is.)

    There is only one forewing cell spot.
    E. sari can be discounted by its large patch.
    In E. andersonii the hindwing costal streak in space 7 extends & lines up with the cell-end bar. (See the pics in the checklist.)
    The streak & the cellend bar are totally out of position here.
    Here are additional images of E. andersonii to show how the costal streak in space 7 lines up & joins the cellend bar.

    This can only be the male Eurema lacteola.

    5. is Cehprenes acalle.
    Both the Cephrenes species have the forewing spots 4 & 5 long thin & rectangular on the underside.

    PS. One has to be mindful of a E. hecabe that has lost one of its cellspot.
    Two features that help to confirm the ID.
    1. There is a greenish tinge to the yellow. Compare to the pic of E. sari (same camera, same settings).
    2. The hindwing of E. hecabe is somewhat quadrate or squarish.See.

    Unfortunately pics of E. lacteola on the net turned out to E. hecabe.
