    I did a check of the Arhopalas, and the spot in space 11 practically IDed it as a member of the alitaeus group as you indicated earlier.
    Only a few other with distinctive markings, eg. democritus have this spot.

    The members with a slatey glaze and stronger contrasted markings are A. aida, havilandi, alitaeus, & sintanga.Both havilandi & sintanga are confined to Borneo & southern Malaya. In any case they look quite different.
    A. alitaeus is obviously different with its rounded spots.
    A. aida from Ko Samui looks quite different too.

    Two possible members of group in Yutaka website, A. atrax & A. alax are found well up north.
    I am just at a loss what this should be at the moment.

    PS. A. atrax & alax do not seem to be in the alitaeus group.
