    1. This is a strange one.
    The general colouration rendition is too grey.

    The FW is raised high enough to show no uppercellspot. FW spots small yellowish.
    So it is either C. cormasa or C. malaya. C. philippina have sharper wings.


    It looks like C. cormasa but the pale area on the antenna is obscure.

    C.cormasa.
    Male.
