Marcus, I think that was the Faunis kirata (Broad-Striped Faun) that Les was mentioning about. He should be able to confirm it. :)
Here's my last few shots to share.
Xanthotaenia busiris busiris (Yellow Barred)

Taxila haquinus haquinus (Harlequin)

From the arrangement and equal size of fore and hind wing white ocelli ; the size of median band and dark tornal area , it fits the Key description in C&P4 as Faunis kirata , also visually as depicted in C&P4 Plate 18 figure12 and Pisuth Plate 47 A3.
Cheers!
very fruitful outing guys! keep the pictures rolling in!
Sorry, but it is not Saletara. This is one of the Appias species I mentioned in an earlier comment.Quote:
