Male Tanaecia clathrata violaria.
Note HW submarginal black spots are about in the middle of the blue band. Upper two sagittate (arrowheads).

Tanaecia heringi (syn. coelebs )is similar but the HW submarginal black spots are placed along the inner border of the blue band.

Euthalia mahadeva is similar to T. heringi with the black spots along the inner border of the blue band, but have sharper wings.
