    This one is more toward M. perseoides markings in that it has a tooth at 1b but inner margins of the HW ocelli seems more regular?

    Post 6.

    The greater regularity of the HW ocelli's inner margins indicate this should be M. visala.
    Another probable with mixed blood.

    Some M. visala have the lower end of the dark line in an 'L' not quite a tooth.

    M. visala male have a long yellow brand that reaches & interrupt the white postdiscal band UnF.

    M. perseoides have a short reddish brown brand UnF.

    This one is incorrectly IDed as M. visala. The UpH hair tuft indicate a male but the UnF shows no sign of the long yellow brand.
    Thus it should be M. perseoides.
    The inner margins of the HW ocelli also form a wider more irreglar identation.
    This male also compares favourably with your pic 2 which reinforces that it is more likely to be M. perseoidesthough with mixed blood.


    TL Seow: Cheers.
