I have been checking my Lethe images. These two attached images are from Mae Wong (w Thailand), and I am having a very hard time deciding whether they are L. sinorix ot L. kansa. Some individuals of these two species seem very difficult to separate. Comments please. I tentatively have these down as L. sinorix, but being to think they might both be L. kansa.
With thanks.

They are both Lethe kansa.
L. sinorix. HW eyespots sharply angled (almost 90 degree)at vein 5 ie between the upper two & lower three.

Many thanks. Very useful pointer - not in the literature!
