Quite rightly so.
However some variation always occur.
The other factors are R. varuna is rather dark on the underside, & the HW band & cellend bar are so close they usually touch.

The Bornean book on Lycaenids also give a good match, Page 67/74, L355.

It also give a good match to this male labelled as R. dieneces in the past.
The FW band has a distinct bent, & the ground colour is olive brown which has a hint of green.
This just would not match any of the known males in Singapore.

TL Seow: Cheers.
PS. There are examples of R. varuna from other areas in which the underside is pale eg. India ( HW band & cellend bar touching)..
The ID of R. scintilla may be a bit premature without further observations.
You could still be right . It may turn to be a form of R. varuna.

Maybe an unusually pale female? Too bad we don't know the extent of variation of these spp.
