I think it is fair to leave it as you have labelled it.
Yutaka have shown that two taxa bhavara & malayana overlaps in a large area in Inddochina.
However, it is not as simple as that.
The difference between the two appeared to be very slight.
Taxon bhavara have a duller weaker blue-green sheen & the white band tends to have streaky outer margin.
Taxon malayana have deeper blue sheen & a thin white band.
There are individual variations & it can be difficult to be sure which is what.

There is no consensus at the moment & many authors do not accept malayana as a full species.
Eg. as stated in Yutaka H. malayana is found in HK (ie. no taminatus there) but the the Hasora there is called H. taminatus.
