    Default Anthene emolus?

    An image taken at Tat Mok NP, nc Thailand. I can only make this to be Anthene emolus, Common Ciliate Biue. However, note that on the forewing there is an additional "set" of pale lines plus a small open circle. I can find no image on the web that shows this feature on A. emolus. Is this an aberration? Or not A. emolus?

    Thanks

    It's A. emolus but it's closer to the nominate ssp. The discal spots are an unusual aberration

    Would agree it is A. emolus.
    The extra FW cellspot is seen in A. licates, but there is no suggestion this could be a hybrid.
    A. licates.
