    Default Mahathala ameria - confirmation of ID

    I photographed this some years ago at Chiang Dao, n Thailand. At the time it was put down as Mahathala america.
    I think that still looks OK, but could this be confirmed please.
    A scarce species in Thailand. Many thanks

    What you have is Arhopala centaurus shot at an odd angle.
    The HW margin is rounded & there are tornal green scales.

    Mahathala ameria. HW pale medial band (bound by the postdiscal & discal spots) with its upper margin straight in the lower half.

    Many thanks for that. I knew there was something not quite right about that image!
