The Malayan Mottle, Logania malayica malayica (Distant)

Readily identifiable from others of the genus by its pointed forewing apex. The uppersides are basically white with the forewing apex black. The males are usually on the wings at midday to early afternoon under sun-speckled canopies and are feeble in flight. Confine to forest from lowland to mid-elevation where it is commoner.
