    Yes , a male Potanthus trachala .

    A combination of three features help to ID this species.

    1. FW spots 4 & 5 have no overlap with the spots above & below them, merely connected by the spikes.
    2. HW combination spots 4 & 5 forming a block is strongly projected out from the upper margin of spot 3.
    3. The abdominal end is strongly black-banded.

    Male & female.
