I checked the book 2 times, but I cant seem to find anything similar to this fella. I highly suspect that it is a Sky Blue. Uncle Seow, do you know what exactly is it? If possible, pls also name the common name. Thks.

Well Brian it is a Dark Caerulean (Jamides bochus).

The female here is darker than other Jamides on the underside.
The outer 2 rows of spots are large and dark with rounded margins so it is easily mistaken for a 4-lne Blue (Nacaduba spp.).
Notice the innermost band on the hindwing is always broken into 3 parts.
