Extracted from post by James, some finding:
One of the ID key gone missing in the 3rd shot. There's is no orange spot in space 7 hindwing, that lead me to think whether it's a Potanthus rectifasciatus or Potanthus pamela?

Les, for yr #5, take a look on the C&P4, plate 59 - 17. Potanthus trachala tytleri.

Thanks SC. Using the key as well, I end up with the same conclusion. Number 275!

Using the key in C&P4, I would tend to agree. However, as this would be a new record, it should be checked against any existing specimens of this Genus.

BJ, I m quite sure this will be a +1

Having realised that my No 2 was Potanthus confucius, I have been in a quandry. I already had a photo of this species, which I now realise was obviously wrong.
It has the orange spots conjoined from spaces 2,3 to 4,5 and from 4,5 to 6,7 on the forewing upperside, but there is no spot in space 7 on the hindwing. There are only three Potanthus species without this spot found in Thailand, P. rectifasciatus, P. pamela and P. pallida, but none of them have the conjoined forewing spots.
I have come to the tentative decision that this may be Taractrocera archias quinta. I would be very grateful for your thoughts, especially from anyone who has had direct experience of this species.

Highly likely. This can be considered tentatively. I recall that you shot something similar before, but again, we can't be 100% sure.Originally Posted by Cruiser

Yes, looks like same species, so did you follow Khew's advice?
