Found this Arhopala recently and didn't give much thought about it because i thought it was just another epimuta until i compared this to my other epimuta shots and noticed a few differences. The post-discal series on the hindwing seems quite different and i was wondering if it could be either an atosia or lurida that has lost its tails? The wing shape is also quite different.
Here is a mating pair of what i know is definitely epimuta and you can see even the male(the one on the right) has more rounded wings than the above specimen.
Arhopala atosia or lurida?
