Rapala varuna?

Is this a male Rapala varuna? The FW post-discal band is not as broad as that for a typical Rapala varuna.

Yes it is a male R. varuna.
The criteria are.
Band typically broad, double white-sided.
On the HW, the postdiscal band & the cellend bar are very close, often touch.
The HW tornal black spot & the orange crown are rounded.

tL Seow: Cheers.
