This was photographed at Omkoi, nw Thailand, 12 Jan 24, at 1,100 m in dry forest.
I am pretty familiar with most of the Arhopala species in the north, but this one does not seem to match any I know.
Any suggestions most welcome please.
Many thanks

Female Arhopala agrata.
The FW postdiscal band is slightly dislocated at vein 4.
HW postdiscal spot 7 atop spot 6 which is rather large with straight margins.
HW postdiscal band completely dislocated at vein 2.
The markings suggest the cleander group (cleander , alea & agrata subgroups).
The FW topmost spot 9 is obscure ,almost obsolete & this is a feature of A. agrata.
