Thank you so much!

Baoris probably B.oceia male.

The large pale area below FW spot 2 is indicative.
There is only reduced spots ie. a single lower cellspot & 2 subapical spots.
Reduced spots is more often seen in B. oceia & it is much the commoner of the two species.

TL Seow: Cheers.
Other species with a large pale area include Isma iapis & Salanoemia fuscicornis, but these two have the lower cellspot adjacent to spot 2.
