I came across this photo, taken at Sam Ha Chet Waterfall, Suratthani Province on the mainland back on 11.2.2010 hiding in my Isma iapis file. I am sure I have it wrong.

It is an Isma female.
Similar to I. iapis but lack a cellend V-mark & have an extra whitish spot.
Worn male I. iapis.

The hindwing pattern is quite similar to I. bononia, but this is a very small species.

Thank you. It was the hindwing white spot, in particular, that had got me concerned. I remember seeing the bononia in Taman Negara back in 2011 and that was, as you say, much smaller than this.
