Post 3. The underside a rusty brown with the white bands black-edged is that of N. sappho.Correction: Neptis hylas.
This meant it is an extreme dry-season form (dsf) of N. sappho. which have the white bands & spots very broad.
TL Seow; Cheers.
PS . ID Correction; It should an extreme dsf of Neptis hylas. The underside colour is difficult to deduce in photos it is also variable.
There is no examples of N. sappho in which the FW postdiscal spots are broad (ie horizontally elongate).
Evans give additional difference between the two.
N. hylas ; Underside FW veins beyond the cell blackened.
N. sappho: Underside FW veins not blackened.
