Pedesta masuriensis.

This species are large conjoined white spots in space 2, 3, & the cell.
UnH with diffuse white spots in space 2 .3. & 6.

Two other have yellow spots which are smaller & partially separated.

https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/sp/3196/Pedesta-panda


Other similar species in Sovia, Thoressa & Pedesta occuring nearby & to the east ie Sichuan, Yunnan all have smaller & separated spots.


The 4th pic is a very worn individual & most of the UnH markings are lost.
From the general appearance it is also likely to be P. masuriensis.


TL Seow: Cheers.
