Certainly we didn't knowingly see any eventa in the area and we were there some time, and we are pretty familiar with that species from Doi Pha Hom Pok.
    You are right. There is a costal injury mark & two scratches in space 2 & 3 which are matching with pix 2.

    TL Seow: Cheers.

    PS. On reflection it is probably H. epicles..
    All valid pix of H. ila shows the white mark in space 2 to be straight whereas this is slightly chevron.
    The off angle of the shot seem to have flattened it.
    There is still H. indicus to consider.

    PS2; It looks like the male H. indicus have the FW cilia barely checquered plus more prominent postdiscal dark dashes, so that rules it out.
