    Correction.

    Much more likely to be Arhopala athada athada.
    There is probably some hybrid element here.

    However A. silhetensis is a very large species & the bands are far apart.

    A. silhetensis.
    On the FW the postdiscal & submarginal bands are 2- 2.5 X the width of the postdiscal band apart.

    A. athada is usually a smaller species & the postdiscal band tend to be wider.
    FW postdiscal & submarginal bands about 1- 1.5 X the width of the postdiscal band apart.
