ID needed for Butterfly from Papua New Guinea

[Psyche]

It is the type species of the genus but our local species apparently are structurally very different from it.

Not really so. They all share having the FW cell lower cross-vein ending above the origin of vein 3.
Two from the eastern part ( Philippines L. panopus, Moluccas, PNG L. aeropa ) have vein 11 & 12 anastomosed(connected) in both sexes & the HW cell slenderly closed (by non-tubular veins).

The dirtea group have veins 11 & 12 free in the male.
in L. canescens however, these veins are anastomosed in both sexes as in L. aeropa.
These two oriental groups have the HW cell open.
This is not really that important as in Bassarona , B. dunya have the HW cell slenderly closed while B. recta & teuta have it open.

Additionally L. aeropa have the FW veins 9, 10, & 11 very close, but these veins are naturally quite close.

TL Seow : Cheers.
PS. Both L. aeropa & panopus have a rounded cellspot on the FW underside; in the others, this is a figure-of-eight or broken in two.
