    P56, 5. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/282021400
    Likely to be Arhopala phanda.

    The cleander group FW spot 4 not shifted out, UnH spot 7 atop spot 6. postdiscal band fully dislocated at vein 2.

    Two main subgroup.
    The cleander subgroup are large with the markings well separated, so that on the HW the submarginal and pstdiscal bands are well apart. eg A. athada, silhetensis.
    A. athada.

    The alea subgroup are about half the size of the cleander members, so that on UnH the submarginal and postdiscal bands are close and often touch.
    eg A. sublustris.

    Underside postdiscal band broad.
