Seow, is this Pelopidas assamensis?
The spots matches that of the Tree Flitter, Hyadrotis adrastus. Since most of the undersides appeared to be that of females in the checklist, this must be a rare male.

I agree. The spots match very accurately those of specimens in my collection.Quote:

Thanks, Seow & Les. Kept referring to the Pelopidas group due to the large size of this fella. Forgot to check Hyarotis. :embrass:
Didn't manage to get a shot of its undersides, so didn't realise that it's a Tree Flitter after all. I was trying to match its conjoined cell spots with one of the Pelopidas, but couldn't find a match of course! :mad2:
