    Correction


    Oops!.
    The upperside already clearly shows it it Curetis bulis.
    I was blind sided by previous examples with narrow orange bands labelled as C. santana.
    eg.

    Eliot state in C. bulis base of space 7 at least half black.
    In your pix the FW is raised high so there is no ambiquity where space 7 is.

    In C. bulis HW postdiscal spot 7 is large & & spot 6 is small & tuck under (inwards ) of spot 7.
    HW submarginal spots are in line. In your case not so clear cut.

    Correction: HW upperside Space 6 & 7 in above images are actually space 5 & 6.
    Space 7 is hidden under the FW in the image below.

    It would appear C. bulis is not that rare.


    TL Seow: Cheers.
