Practically all species have some variations in the size of the ocelli.

Despite what Pisuth stated, there are dsf of Y. watsoni.

Y. watsoni watsoni was described by Moore , type location Burma (Myanmar).

From Moore's book.

Pisuth's image looks like dsf with its small ocelli & strong fasciae (bandings).

Post 43.
1 Chersonesia intermedia rahrioides.

SSp rahrioides have a broader postdiscal band(with the dashes) & looks similar to C. rahria.

Dr Seow, in Pisuth's book, he mentioned that 'this species has been revised and raised up from subspecies of intermedia to a species', so should it be Chersonesia rahrioides instead of Chersonesia intermedia rahrioides?

[Psyche]

When someone does a revision & upgrade a subspecies to a full species. his argument have to be convincing to gain acceptance from his peers.
Pisuth's book was published in 2012, so the revision ( by whoever )was done earlier than that.

The major players here have retain this as a subspecies.
Yutaka webpage on C. intermedia rahriodes was revised in 31 -8- 2018 just last year.

Butterflies of India have also retain it as a subspecies.
