This is a good record of Tetragonus lycaenoides, not T. catamitus, nor Callidula sumatrensis (all Callidulidae).
In Holloway's Moths of Borneo, he states "no recently collected material has been seen. Older material is from lowland localities."
See http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-8/...ulidae_1_2.php for the full entry.
Caveman, please don't feel cheated - this is a far better record than most butterfly records from Singapore!
cheers,
Roger.
