Pelopidas mathias male.

The male brand is visible on the right FW. Spot size is very variable.
Since spot 2 is rather broad (not narrow & thin) it is likely to be mathias rather than agna.

TL Seow : Cheers.

Thank you, Dr Seow! Thought I had nailed it right this time!

Draw an imaginal line connecting two cell spots. The line will cross the male stigma. That means that it is mathias as Psyche identified.
