    If this is taken in Singapore than it is a new record.

    Cirrichroa surya siamensis. Correction: Cirrochroa malaya.
    UnF discal band expanded upwards to the costa.
    HW white discal band narrow ,of uniform width throughout.

    30 years ago this was still largely known from the northern half of Peninsular Malaysia.


    Cirrochroa emalea emalea.
    UnF band expanded at costa but more widely.
    Hw discal markedly constricted in space 5.

    Correction: 2 is definitely Cirrochroa malaya.

    This species resembles C. surya on the underside is found in Sundaland but seem not in Thailand.
    The upperside resenbles C. emalea.

    The underside resembles C. surya.
