Athyma selenophora (Kollar, 1844)
The Staff Sergeant (Athyma selenophora) is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in tropical and subtropical Asia.
Athyma selenophora I would say. Look at the tiny reddish stripes/pins at the base of the hindwing. In Opalina there are no such stripes.

In this link I make a mark at the corresponding part I am refering to. Just move over the picture and a window is automatically open with a text box:

After further examination I think selenophora too, especially on the basis of the ventral view:http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/144-athyma/athyma-selenophora
Hi Jatish! You're right, it seems very close to ! I am looking at both (ventral and dorsal views) on http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/
I'm not sure I can differentiate them so far but I'm still trying. Someone else might! Can you?
What about STAFF SERGEANT (F) Athyma selenophora,?? Please check..http://www.flickr.com/photos/26689187@N00/4277743215/in/set-72157624016495047/
