Thanks Dr Seow. So this the black and white one is a female Symbrenthia lilaea javanus
In this attached photo, is this Athyma nefte nivifera?

It should be Athyma selenophora amhara

Oops. Thanks Aaron. I was looking out for the similar twice-broken cell streak which the ssp amharina doesnt have.
Athyma selenophora males were quite numerous in the waterfall trail. Each time an Athyma appeared, it would turn out to be this species, except for ONE occasion... Which I'll post in the future (only a record shot). We didn't see any females though, which look very unique if I'm not mistaken.

Also in funet.

It was first placed as a ssp of S. lilaea , but this has been revised.
The website quoting S. lilaea javanus have referred to old IDs.
