Jamides zebra lakatti (Corbet)

Superficially the undersides ressemble that of J. celeno but on the uppersides, the FW has a much more intense blue towards the apex and periphery of the wing. The black FW margin is a thread but can be a confusing factor as the cilia are also black, giving a broader impression of the black area. Decidedly a forest insect compared to the much more widespread J. celeno. A possible ID key in the field would be the rather scalloped FW postdical band's outer margin (Thanks Dr Seow). In J. celeno, this is almost always a straight line. (see comparisons on the pix below)
