    These Pelopidas can be very tough to ID.

    P. mathias is greyer on the underside & also have more uneven shadings.

    In P. agna UnH is more uniform in colour.

    The UnH looks uneven & is also greyer than in post 12.
    UnH spot 7 is more often present in P. mathias.

    The upF alignment of the two cellspots seem to move away from the space 1b spot suggesting P. agnabut this often variable.


    Overall I think it is P. mathias but certainly not confident here.

    TL Seow: Cheers.
