They are all D. vidura.

There is a lot of confusion between what is D. vidura & sinhara on the net.

It is best to follow the key in C&P4 which describes the peninsular forms of both.
The key states in D. sinhara the orange patch more or less obliterate the black striae above it in space 2 & part of space 1b.

Male .Taman Pertanian ,Kuantan.

Typical D. vidura male also frm Sg. Tua. The lunulate (curved) black striae seem to be a variable feature.
