    Default Sub-species of Moduza procris

    Today I encountered a Commander and thought that its coloration was a bit too light. However I could only manage one shot which shows only the upperside of the left wings (pic 1).
    At home I compared it to the shots in the BC checklist and could tell some differences (pic 2, by Chee Beng, was rotated for easy comparison with arrows showing differences). Looking up Pisuth's book (plate 181) shows the upperside in pic 1 matches that of Moduza procris procris, another subspecies not reported in C&P4. Wear-and-tear or really a different subsp?
