    1. Arnetta verones.
    2. Pyroneura latoia : subapical spots aligned to dorsum; sivery streak in space 5.
    3. Zographetus rama: only species in which female have white-banded antennae.(Correction: this is Isma iapis female)
    4. Pyroneura derna : no silvery streak in space 5; hindwing vein 8 yellow-scaled below.
    5. Pelopidas mathias female : line thru cell-spots pass close to & under inner edge of spot in space 1b (partly covered by fold.).
    6. Ancistroides gemmifer : note whitish spot on underside of forewing.
    7. Isma umbrosa female : spot in space 2, 3, & 4.; ochreous shading; forewing subapical spots one big, one small.
    8. Probably Halpe pelethronix but could also be H. wantona.
    9. Psolos fuligo : typical hunchback appearance.

    I went back to the same spot that took the #3 above. Found them again and managed a opened wings shot. It does not looked like Zographetus ?
    Or was it another butt ?

    These are the shots.

    You are right LC. It is the female of Isma iapis.

    I knew there was something not right with the Zographetus ID because the position of the hindwing cell spot was wrong, and the spots are supposed to be very obscure. However, it was the only one in which the female have white-banded antennae.

    C&P4 made no mention of the dark spots in Isma. Still the ID is clear enough. The 2 cell spots, spots in space 4 & 1b and in particular the whitening on the underside of the lower part of the forewing are diagnostic.
    I remembered the male you had also have dark spots.

    PS. The 2 individuals have different arrangement of the dark spots on the hindwing although I am certain they are the same species.
