You are welcome Dan. Koh-i-noor is really a weird common name
I got the ID from the Tawau Hills Park exhibition gallery. They miswrote the name of this species (typical of poor management) but it's good enough to help me identify this spotting.
By the way, the subspecies is Amathuxidia amythaon ottomana, the subspecies of North Borneo.
