Four images of the same individual from Kanchanburi province, west Thailand. Surprisingly, looking at the literature, Potanthus sp are not well represented from west Thailand. I think this is Potanthus lydia. Would that be correct please?

With many thanks. I had considered Potanthus trachala, but thought that the spots were not detached enough. Thanks.
