Firstly it is not wise to take pix from butterfly houses as they usually contains forms not native ,the pupae having been traded around.

These are the typical forms of Amathusia phidippus in Singapore.

It is best to leave these three as phidippus for the moment.

This may just be a form ofAmathusia friderici.
It could just possibly be a female A. perakana.
A shot of a male is needed to prove the existence of A. perakana.
Note.
A. perakana male have only vague UpF orange band & UnH 4th band always broken.
This should be Amathusia binghami.
