Cirrochroa satellita satellita (Butler)

Rare and confined to heavily wooded forest trails where it can often be dismissed as a small C. orissa in flight. Unlike the larger and commoner Cirrochroas or Yeomans, this species is shy and do not stay long on open trails where they make occasional visits and darts back into the safety of the undergrowth once they sense the presence of human in the vicinity.

The Malay Yeoman, Cirrochroa emalea emalea (Guérin-Méneville)

This butterfly has been observed to have an affinity for concrete structures like many species of the Vagrantini. They seem to appear common suddenly and disappear other times of the year in the same localities. Highly seasonal. It can be differentiated from C. malay by its more rusty orange shades on the upperside of wings as well as the constricted post-discal band on space 5 & 6 on the HW underside (where a noticeably larger ocellus sits).
