Only a single photo, and not a particularly good individual. From Mae Hong Son, extreme nw Thailand.
The bulbous cell-end with a point, plus the shape of the lower forewing bar makes this look like Lasippa heliodore - a species I am not familiar with. Would that be a correct identification?
Many thanks

Lasippa heliodore have a different FW submarginal band & the tongue like protrusion at the base of the FW cellend very prominent.

Pantoporia hordonia & sandaka have been much confused.
It doesn/t help with wsf & dsf of both species. Dsf have wider orange markings.

Many thanks for that. Have also reviewed my Pantoporia hordonia & sandaka and surprised that they all look OK.
