Thats why I tagged you... Hope you get it... Nice information in collective book by Great Isaac Kehimkar.... I heard his name from last 15 years as very sincere Biologist.

Great Ashish. Did you find it in your new Indian butterflies book?
Dan Doucette
Thanks Ashish, that's the one. Strange common name, I will never know how they come up with them for some of the butterflies I've seen.

If this is it has definitely faded... Or it could be a close species...maybe this is a staring point...
Dan Doucette
It does look like it but it looks like it has much more distinct markings and a few more of them. Could this be the same but very faded?
DanielePralong
Dan I'm thinking of this butterfly: the Tabby (Pseudergolis wedah)
