Mycalesis francisca. Correction: Mycalesis suaveolans.
This & M gotama are rather similar.
M. francisca.
Postdiscal white band narrow , (may be lilac, ie light purplish)slightly irregular, the upper 1/3 on the FW gently curve towards the costa.
Yellow ring on the large eyespot in space 2 on the FW & HW very narrow, narrower than the white centre.
FW inner submarginal line more strongly zigzag.
