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.
Seow, thanks a lot - your detailed explanations give all of us here a lot more insights into identifying the species.
Wow, it definitely gives me a great motivation to venture into the CCA again.
A big thank you for sharing your knowledge.
