This is not uncommon as the larva now feed on oil palm. A dark form in which the male upperside is almost black (form utana) also exist.
This differs from A. phidippus in that the 4th dark band from the HW base is strongly notched by the veins on both margins.
As expected most sightings are on Pulau Ubin.

Thank you Dr Seow!
After reading the key ID features you mentioned, I re-looked at my previous Amathusia shots. I labelled this as A. phidippus previously but now I noticed the 4th band seems to be notched by the veins. Perhaps you could take a look.

1. Male Potanthus trachala.
Although FW spot4 have some degree of overlap with spot 3 this is variable. On the upperside the spots 4 & 5 are fully detached.
A continental species P. pseudomaesa is very similar.
but the FW spots in space 1b, 2 & 3 are wider.
A useful guide is that the subapical spots in P. trachala are notched & spiky.

Thank you Dr Seow!
Dr Seow,
Regarding Post 46, I took another look at the Caltoris and there is actually 3 FW spots, but because of the file size limit I had to lower the resolution and the third spot wasn't clear. Here is the iNaturalist link for a clearer image: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/139620987
The 3rd subapical spot (spot 8) is rather vague & ill-formed.Quote:

It is just that female C. bromus tend to have two subapical spots, & cormasa three.
The other factor is the upper cellspot tend to be large in bromus.
Also your specimen is very fresh, yet it does not show the distinctive dark mottling on the HW of cormasa.
Is it a coincidence that the upper cellspot is large.
Here is another shot of yours, which is fresh & can be identified immediately as a female Caltoris cormasa.

I see, thank you for the clarifications Dr Seow!
The three Caltoris ,namely cormasa, bromus & cahira can sometimes be rather confusing because of the change in colour tone in photography.
Caltoris bromus is normally more uniforly brown.
FW subapical typically two & cellspot prominent.

Likely to be the female Pantoporia sandaka.
Although the grey band is wide, it seem variable in the female P. sandaka.
The orange submarginal band is expanded at the apex, which do not happen in P. hordonia.
To proof P. hordonia is still extant in Singapore someone need to shoot a male, which have not happen for 20 years.

It is definitely Baoris male, likely Baoris oceia.
The separation of B. oceia & farri is etremely difficult.
It is simply assumed in the past the dark ones are oceia & the lighter brown ones are farri.
B. oceia also tend to have reduced spots but all Singaporean examples of males have reduced spots.
these presumptions are unscientific.
B. oceia does not occur further north in Indochina or India.
Thus examples there can be certain to be B. farri.

The HW spot is diagnostic if present.
It is placed near the origin of vein 6.

In Parnara if the HW cellspot is present, it is at the origins of veins 3 & 4.
FW subapical spots 6 & 7 are always aligned ,if spot 8 is present, then all three are in a straight line.
Antennae are very short.
Two known species.
Parnara bada.
Upperside FW spot 3 quadrate & equidistant from spots 2 & 4.
Underside HW spots small & separate. HW spot 6 often present.
