Female Tajuria deudorix ingeni.
The FW cellend is marked by a faint white line.
FW postdiscal band/line is much closer to the outer margin(termen) than to the cellend.
HW postdiscal band/lines in space 2 & 3 are straight; the part in space 1b a 'V' is variable.
In the similar T. berensis the FW line is equidistant from termen & cellend.

Only T.mantra have the FW postdiscal line similarly nearer the termen.
However, in T mantra the HW band/lines in space 1b, 2, & 3 are strongly arcuate ( curved).
Female mantra.

ID Correction
The HW orange extend across space 1b & the V mark indicate this is not Tajuria but Pratapa].
T deudorix & mantra both have the HW orange split into two.
TL Seow : Cheers.
PS'Oops again it is not Pratapa, but correctly Tajuria.
Tajuria sunia female.
The statement that only T. mantra & deudorix have the FW postdiscal band nearer the termen seems misleading.
This matches T. sunia Fleming L289 perfectly.
1. Black spot in space 2 much larger than tornal black spot.
2. extensive orange over the tornal area.
3. HW band/line forms a deep V in space 1b.
T. inexpectata is rather similar but the V in space 1b is very shallow.
See Fleming Plate 92. L287 A.
TL Seow : Cheers.
Wow, this is a very rare species!!
