Halpe is terribly difficult.
Many forms are being upgraded to full species.

This should be correct as H. wantona.
It has the even sized interneural black spots on a dirty ground.
Upperside i cellspot ;spots 2 & 3 partial overlap.

Not sure what this should be.
It looks closest to Halpe aucma ,some form have narrow interneural spots.

It can not be H. flava which is more golden, with HW spot 4 & 5 very tiny and spots 6 & 7 very large.

Also can not be H. kusala which has a central yellowish white band.

This is a good match for H. kusala.

I have no idea how H. molta should look.
TL Seow: Cheers.
Thank you so much sir...
