From Hala-Bala, s Thailand on the Malaysian border, June 23.
I am having a hard time deciding if this is Curetis bulis or santana. I think it is santana as the two spots on the HW costa are faily straight and aligned.
Confirmation please? Many thanks.

Yes .I t is Curetis santana.

You may want to look at this image.
This is C. bulis stigmata P. Malaysia, & would be the ssp. in Hala Bala.
The spots marked 6 & 7 are not aligned but the two spots inside the red circle are aligned.

In C. santana malayica.
The central two spots are in line but the two submarginal spots are out of line.
