ID for Neptis species in VietNam

[hanh090]

Hi everyone,

I have a picture from VietNam of Neptis species but be honest I can not narrow down anymore. Can you help me the key to identify these species in Neptis, especially these one in VietNam?

Thank you very much for your time

Neptis is particularly difficult to ID. There are 31 species there.
You can see nearly all the species in Vietnam here.

It should be Neptis hylas. widespread in India to SE Asia. .
Your image is too small.
On the forewing the upper of the lower 4 spots are large & elongate.

Very similar, Neptis sappho Europe to Korea.
Note the 4 spots are more rounded.

Thank Mr Seow for useful information.
Maybe I should take a picture of underwing as well, because for what I remember underwing of this specimen is black, but from your link above underwing of N.sappho and N.hylas is brown?
