You have a female Zographetus ogygia.
Both Z. doxus & ogygia males have white-banded antennal club.; the females have the club black.
Z. doxus. Underside discal area yellow in the male ;mostly yellow in the female (actually more ochreous-yellow)
Male & female

Jerome & ?Brian shot the male several years ago.
The Z. ogygia in India is quite different.
Whether it is just subspecies difference or a different species from here is uncertain.
