Dear Dr Seow,
Would appreciate if you could assist to ID this Baron shot in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. I did not manage to to shoot the upper side as it is up a tree.

Tanaecia godartii vacillaria.
There are a lot of name changes.
I am basing this on Funet.

This & T. iapis are similar.
The underside FW of T. godartii have the band/line parallel to the margin.

The underside FW of T. iapis( T. cocytina ) have the fascia vague, but slanting, oblique.

The form known as niepelti is also classified as a separate species by some.
Surprisingly it is also found in China.
