    This is a strange one The UnH is that of A athada but the upperside is dark with the border a thread.
    Possibly A. aroa.

    .Arhopala athada. Variable in size, medium to large.
    HW submarginal & posdiscal bands well separated. V spot well form; spot 6 typically astride spot 5 & cellend bar.

    2. Possibility A. zylda , stubbsi & avathina. Correction avathina is out as its HW postdiscal band is completely dislocated.
    The HW have no tooth at vein 2. HW postdiscal band is only partially dislocated at vein 2 ie the 'V' spot 1b overlaps spot 2.
    This effecitvely eliminate A. kurzi, & metamuta/muta/moorei.

    A. avathina has n FW basal cellspot (seem to have one just visible here.) Correction: avathina is out.

    3. A. major.

    4. A. epimuta ;note tornal white cilial dot; FW spot 4 dislocated outwards.

    5, Chersonesia paraka female; Female have rounded FW.
    Male & female.
