Mycalesis annamitica?

[DaveChiangMai]

A very well marked Mycalesis sp. from Khao Ang Rue Nai, se Thailand, on which I would appreciate some comments on the identification please.

Due to the very wide white post-discal band I make this either M. annamitica, M. malsara or M. anaxias.
I have never knowingly seen malsara or anaxias with such large spots. I also feel that the large and joined hindwing spots 3 and 4 indicate that this must be M. annamitica?

Comments please.

The large FW spot 2 indicate a female.

M. annamitica :Inner margins of HW ocelli forms an indentation deepest between spot 4 & 5, in the upper part.
