Doi Suthep Pui, Chiang Mai on 15, 19 and 21 March 2015

Cleaning my Flickr I found this unidentified Arhopala, although I remember I've posted somewhere...

The outer series of spots are the ones called postdiscal spots.
What is in line is the discal spot in space 3 (correction :space 2 actually) , cellend bar & postdiscal spots 6 & 7.

Postdiscal spots 6 & 7 are actually discal in position but conventionally called postdiscal ,as a continuation of the postdiscal spots from 2, 3, 4, & 5.

TL Seow:Cheers.

Thx for the clarification, Dr Seow,

I see some irony in the notation in that the spots cannot be simultaneously called "discal" and "post-discal" like in this situation where they are part of two different rows of spots as that would sound contradictory. Also, the cell was actually longer than what I had previously imagined so that crucial area would now fall under "discal". Sometimes it's hard to tell the exact size of the cell. :)

Thanks.... one more from Doi Suthep
