Photographed on a recent trip to Mae Hong Son province, extreme nw Thailand.
There's just something that doesn't look right for Pantoporia hordonia.

The cell end bar is quite long and pointed and the lower band on the forewing is wide, continuous and "knob-ended" (sure there must be a technical term for that).

Is this Lasippa viraja, which would seem to also be a near match?
Thanks.

Pantoporia hordonia is quite different with markings heavily notched & a grey submarginal band/line.

Many thanks for the confirmation. This is a rather rare butterfly in Thailand.
