Hey Mark Ridgway.. Thanks for correcting me...
VincentVanur
Thank you, NuwanChathuranga, I am taking Mr Mark's last suggestion as the right one and reediting my spotting accordingly. I don't have more good photos.
NuwanChathuranga
Hello Mr. Vincent, Mark has suggested a different species but in same genus, looks like Mark is correct with bifasciata, do you have more photos?
VincentVanur
Thank you, NuwanChathuranga. You are right. Mark Ridgway has also suggested the same just now. I shall edit my spotting accordingly.

Thank you, Mark Ridgway. The two spots are not seen on Dhaval Momaya's photo. I shall make further inquiries. Meanwhile, let Tushar's identification stay for the time being.

Hi Vincent and Tushar... Tushar your suggestion doesn't look right to me - check the underwings here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amathusia_phidippus

Thank you, TusharSawant. I am editing my spotting accordingly.
