The lower wing upper surface looked whitish rather than yellowish. Is this the Yellow Flat (Mooreana trichoneura trichoneura)? Taken in Pahang, 2 Dec 2015. Thanks.

It is a colour variant of Mooreana trichoneura.

The other species M. princeps from the Philippines have very broad yellow area.

A third M. boisduvali from Sulawesi is dubius.
