Tanaecia iapis puseda
The male is dark velvety black with its hindwing hosting a broad greenish-blue distal border which is continued narrowly along the termen of the forewing. The larger female is pale ochreous brown, and has a post-discal series of helmet-shaped white spots and a less distinct marginal series of spotts on both fore- and hindwings. (Quoted from reference)

Wow, VDjuaini, that's a very pretty butterfly! I think I've seen one before but unfortunately never got a picture. You should join my mission on the butterflies of Singapore (http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1912...) and on the biodiversity of Singapore (http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1909...).
