Caltoris species.
Rounded subapical spots.

The ochreous brown underside and highland habitat suggest Caltoris sirius.
An upperside view required.

Amathusia phidippus male.

The Amathusia can be extremely difficult to ID.
However, here the upperside is visible.
The margins of both wings are dull pale and diffuse.
UnH 4th band from the base (paler than the preceding three, and adjacent to the large median band have a regular un-notched margins.

Two species are very similar.


Amathusia friderici holmahunti.
In the typical form the upperside is marked with dull orange.
The 4th band UnH is always lightly notched by the veins along both margins.
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/2847204545
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/2847204541

A. friderici form utana (also treated as a ssp.) is very dark in male and the underside is more heavily shaded.
This has become common in oil palm plantation.

Amathusia binghami.
This is larger, and the upperside have more intense dark orange.
The HW margin is also strongly dark orange.
UnF median bandis broad, usually broadef than the pale postdiscal band.
