Polyura athamas uraeus (Rothschild)

At a glance almost indistinguishable from the other subspecies athamas but can be differentiated by the lack of orange lunules on the HW upperside and distorted lunules on space 5 & 6 the FW underside. They are common throughout the year and are found in the same localities of subspecies athamas.
