    I know it is quite worn out. Nevertheless, I hope Seow may be able to help.
    Arhopala agrata male

    Hindwing postdiscal spot 7 directly on top spot of spot 6, and a lobed tornal spot may indicate the cleander group. However, there is no spot in space 10 ie just above the cellend bar. Also there appear to be a long blackish line that runs from the inner margin of the tornus across the upper margin of the green scaling. See C&P4 41/25. Topside indicates male.

    I have realised that the tornal pattern is not unique and cannot be used for absolute identification. Thankfully, this one is readily IDed following C&P4's keys i.e. key 1, 7, 8, 95, 96, 100, 120, 124, 125 and thus A. agrata.
