The Common Wight, Iton semamora semamora (Moore)

This species is easily identifiable by the extensive white area on the HW undersides below the radius and vein 7 (C&P), appearing to be divided obliquely by the white areas on the bottom half and dark brown on the top half with its wings closed. Uncommon despite its name and is commoner in the hills than the lowland where it is confined to undisturbed forests.
