I ran into this Baron-looking butterfly ovipositing on an unknown plant today. The wing markings do not match any of the known local Baron/Viscount spp. :confused:

It is an aberration of a female Tanaecia pelea.
The FW cell marks are black which is already abnormal.
It has some resemblance to the insular spp. irenae.

Thanks, Dr Seow for the species ID. :)
Looks like I have found another host plant for this species.
