    This is interesting because it looks to be Curetis bulis stigmata
    However this needs an upperside for confirmation.
    HW postdiscal spot 7 is large with rounded margin.
    HW submarginal spots 6 & 7 in line ,in a curve marked by black dots.
    Apical costa with more black spots.
    Examples from P. Malaysia.
