Terinos from Thailand

[DJHiker]

In Jan. 2017 I fotographed this Terinos species in Khao Sok National Park (Thailand).
Looking at Pisuth (page 392 and 393) and this image on Samuibutterflies http://www.samuibutterflies.com/expeditions/nymphalinae/terinosclarissa/
I am inclined to identify it as T. clarissa malayanus.
However, a comparison made in the blog “The forested path and beyond” https://nlliew66butterflies.blogspot.com/search/label/Genus%20Terinos%20%28Boisduval%29.
seems to point to T. atlita teuthras.
Could anyone help me out here.
Thanks in advance.

The Terinos can be very bewildering moving up north.

Up north the white spots are replaced by an orange pink band.
T. terpander blachieri
HW orange pink band with dark lunules/chevrons very close to the margin.

Yes thats a Terinos atlita teuthras.
Those spots tend to be white in P. Malaysia.

T. clarissa malayana has purple lunules on the HW.
