    Default Which Rhinopalpa is this?

    Two views of the butterfly. Taken at KL Butterfly Park. The nearest match I could get is Rhinopalpa polynice birmana. Underwing coloration doesn't seem to match the other common Wizard

    Ssp eudoxia :HW upperside with larger black spots; underside without the orange brown postdiscal series of spots.

    Thanks, Dr Seow. With the limited references I had, I could only get down to the Genus!
