    HW postdiscal band completely dislocated at vein 2.

    These are features of the cleander group.

    Addendum: It is placed in the agrata group, subgroup agrata.
    ID features.
    FW with spot 9 (topmost spot of the postdiscal band .(upper being spots 4, 5, 6, & 9.) absent or faded out.
    HW spot 6 large, wide & trapezoid in shape.
    Markings faded more so on the FW.
