It should be Y. avanta.
The lower 3 spots are in a straight line.
In the other similar 5 rings, Y. baldus, affectata, & persimilis the lower 3 ocelli are out of line.
TL Seow: Cheers.

Sir, I just realized this could be a Sovia grahami.
Sajan KC
Quite right.
Long body & gradual antenna.
I thought all Sovia were heavily spotted like S. albipecta.

Just wondering if the antenna apiculus color is correct. Heard S. grahami has white at club end.
Sajan KC
I forgot what was discussed later.
It can not be S. grahami.
S. grahami have black antennae & white spots. This pic compared to valid images is correct.

The salient point is the large yellow subapical spots which matches P. pandita but the antenna club appear too long.
TL Seow: Cheers.
I presumed you are certain that 1a & 1b are the same insect since the colour difference is quite marked.
I will go thru the Caltoris with two FW cellspots again.
C. bromus ;FW UnF usually a spot 1b (Evans state always but ths is not true.)
UnH dark brown overlaid with ochreous scales; Female may have spots in space 2 & 3.
Male showing no UpF spot 1b but a UnF spot 1b.

1st male Taiwan with upper FW cellspot missing. (Note Taiwan have only two species C. bromus & cahira. Correction: a 3rd C. ranrunna is known.))

C. tenuis Body with greenish hair & UnH with greenish scales.
Paschimbanga
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caltor...B_DSC_4180.jpg
C. cormasa; UpF with upper cellspot absent or tiny.
UnH with deeper reddish brown tone; Spots tend to yellowish.
Singapore.

Female P. Malaysia.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dg1jseJPJ2...0/DSC_0115.JPG
C. chimdroa ; cilia bright yellow.
C. sirius: UpF with a spot 1b in both sexes.
UnH ochreous brown
Probable Caltoris sirius. UpF & UnF shows a distinct spot 1b.
C. bromus male occasionally shows a spot 1b UpF & below but it is diffuse.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/266891...7624014448123/
C. confusa ; Dark brown
FW spots reduced especially upper cellspot & spot 3 may be absent.
Probable C. confusa ,Arunachal Pradesh,
There is a great reduction of spots ie upper cellspot is missing, spot 3 is tiny & subapical spot 7 a dot.
The colour is not reddish as in C. cormasa, nor deep brown as in C. bromus or cahira .

1 should be C. bromus.
Although there is no UnF spot 1b, the UnH brown is not dark enough in pic 1b to indicate C. cahira.
2 is very unusual in that the 3 subapical spots are in line.
FW upper cellspot is much reduced but this can happen in both C. bromus & cahira.
The darke shading on UnH is uneven & much as in this male C. bromus.
https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/me...e290e3d3-1.jpg
Probably male C. bromus.
3. UnF & UnH are evenly brown
UnF spot 3 & upper cellspot are almost obsolete.
Uncertain. Perhaps C. confusa.
