In Ba Vi NP, just outside of Hanoi, I found this (these) Heliophorus species. I can’t remember 100% if both photos show the same individual (the shots were taken 2 minutes apart at the same location), but if not the same individual then probably the same species.
Looking at the wide UpF purple patch I am inclined to think it might be H. kohimensis or H. delacouri rather than H. epicles or H. ila. The purple patch does not have orange streaks as is often the case in epicles. Also the red border on UnF narrows towards apex like in kohimensis.
I would very much appreciate your opinion.
