Heliophorus ila?

[Psyche]

The Heliophorus are extremely difficult.
There is little information

Probably Heliophorus indicus.UpF no orange/red cross band or purple-shot.

As the female is even more confusing I will leave it alone.

H. epicles ;Male Up. usually purple shot male with some orange/red cross band streaks ;HW marginal red band at least 3 spaces.
UnH space 3, 4, & 5 red band half shaded with white.
Un Up views.
