    Default ID help on this butterfly please

    Looks like a Charaxes bernadus upper wing pattern but missing the typical submarginal spots and a bit too small in size.

    Not sure what this.
    The way the FW black border curved towards the forward margin have no proper match.

    A possible match is the subspecies of C. bernardus from Sumatra.

    The 2nd nearest is Charaxes affinis from Sulawesi.
    Diffrent subspecies may have diffrent width of the black borders.
