The VW-dJ article upperside shows an indication of a band on the underside.
It was only necessary to check it out.

I'm sorry, but I do have to question this one. No doubt the species is the the same but its identification, to me, is in question.
Attached is the nominate form of L. calathus, from Nakhon Sri Thammarat Province, in Thailand. No similarities at all, neither the hindwing nor the forewing with those hyaline spots on the Sulawesi specimen.
