    Thanks Dr Seow. I was misled by the wing shape. The forewings are streched forward so they appear more elongated.

    The submarginals are narrow as in pendleburyi but the HW submarginal spot 6 is not a chevron (V-shape).
    I didn't think this was sanaya because the post-discal on the forewing is curved and the distance between the subbasal and discal striae on the hindwing is too wide for sanaya. The striae are also thinner than in sanaya
