    Default Confirmation of ID - Amblypodia narada taooana

    Photographed around Mae Hong Son, nw Thailand. Two images of the same individual.
    Amblypodia narada is a rather scarce butterfly in northern Thailand, and several images I have posted previously have turned out to the A. anita.
    However, this individual has a rather evenly curved dark edge to the dark area on the under hind wing, indicative of A. narada.
    The broad black border to the upper forewing indicates this is a female, and looks to be more closer to narada than anita looking at the extent of blue on the hind wing.
    Comments on the identification greatly received please.

    The underside is that of A. narada.

    The upperside is that of a male A. narada. The dark border increases in width to the apex.

    A. anita is duller purple above. The female anita is all brown or mostly so.
    Female A. anita.
