Thanks Mertin & Knight. I first stumbled upon the Moduza genus also, but I did not find an exact match, like you, Martin. But Knight has come up with the right answer.

The closest I can find is Moduza procris (Commander), sometimes called Limenitis procris which is an old name. Yours is slightly different and I think it is one of the other nine species of Moduza sp. http://en.butterflycorner.net/Limenitis-procris-Commander-Feldherr.546.0.html http://www.malaysia-wildlife-and-nature.com/malaysian-butterflies-gallery.html
