I was relooking at the ID features of Ypthima baldus and Ypthima horsfieldii and it seems there are a lot of different opinions on how to distinguish the two. Initially I thought the way to differentiate the two was whether the HW ocelli in spaces 5&6 and 2&3 are adjoined or separated, it seems like a consistent feature in those that I have shot. But looking through the forums and other references, it seems that is not the correct way. May I ask what the "correct" way (if there is one) to distinguish them? Thank you!
Some of my Ypthima shots, please correct them if I got the ID wrong:
