    It looks like Mycalesis kina is the correct name.

    This is very late, but i have to comment that this butterfly is not Lethe delila; it's Ptychandra talboti, a rare(?) species and the only one in the genus endemic to Borneo(the other spp. are Philippine endemics). I would say that this is most likely the first photo of a living specimen.

    Well done Aaron. I didn't even know such a species exist in Borneo.
    The ID of Lethe delila was a tentative one after eliminating what I thought all possibilties then.

    TL Seow : Cheers.
