Dear Dr Seow,

Need your assistance to ID again please? I think it looked like a Forest Hopper (Astictopterus jama jama) but I am not sure.

This is very worn ,with complete loss of cilia.

The hint of red suggest Caltoris cormasa though the FW spots are rather large for this species .

Probably a worn out Caltoris cahira.
