    Mycalesis visala.

    The species can be very similar when taken in an unbalanced angle.

    M. perseoides & visala have the white strae wider (thiker)

    M. visala have the HW eyespots inner margins more regular & the dark ines with blunt teeth.

    Arhopala athada.
    The markings & pattern are as for this species.
    The FW postdiscal band is partially dislocated at vein 4 & the HW postdiscal & submarginal bands are widely separated.

    A. aurea (& A. trogon) have short stiff tails.
