Photographed at Nam Nao, central Thailand, I originally had this down as Potanthus rectifasciata, but looking at the spots in the upper hindwing (separated spots in space 6 and 7) there does seem to be a possibility that this is P. pava.
Would P. pava be correct?
Many thanks.

TL Seow: Cheers.
Many thanks for this.
There are no recent records of Potanthus pseudomaesa for Thailand, nor any photos, just some old literature records for the north and northeast. An interesting record.
