It does not have the HW cell spot but it elongated look does not look like the Borbo cinnara. Is this a Pelopidas agna or a Pelopidas mathias?

Borbo cinnara female.
The extra spots on the HW suggest it might be Parnara, but,
1 The HW lower 3 spots are well in line.
2. FW subapical 3 spots out of line.
Parnara ;short stumpy antenna; HW lower spots out of line (bada & ganga) ;FW often 2 subapical spots; if 3 ,then in line.
Borbo cinnara.

TL Seow : Cheers.
PS. It might judt be possible for a Pelopidas to have the HW cellspot missing.
This would make it extremely difficult to ID, but generally the lower part of the abdomen in Pelopidas is dark.
P. mathias ,2 females & 1 male.
