    it is impossible to be certain based on the underside alone.
    The two were basically the continental & Sundanian representatives of a single species.
    When Malaya (part of Sundaland) joined the mainland E. eyndhovii moves north into peninsular Thailand & E. doubledayi south into the northern half of Malaya.
    As Yala is part of Sundaland it is probable E. eyndhovii is the commoner there.

    E. doubledayi : Larger FW darker ,often blue black, Female always with a few central spots .
    Umderside HW stripes usually broader, HW central spots many if stripes large ; few if stripes smaller & shorter.

    E. eyndhovii; smaller ofteb rather so, FW male blackish brown, female upperside FW unspotted. HW central spots usually many ,variable.
    Singapore have only E eyndhovii.

    This looks like it should be E. eyndhovii.

    Thanks. E. eyndhovii was my feeling based on the width of the underside stripes, but as you say variable when looking at images across the web.
