arne.roysland,
I tried hard to search it on the web but couldn't. Thank you! :)

Thanks arne.roysland! :) This is one of my favourites! It's pattern is very beautiful!

Francis Floe,
I could reach up to Genus level. Thank you for the ID! :)

BTW, while browsing I got few good links :

Thank you arne.roysland and Ornithoptera80! :)

Thank you Võ Anh Tuấn! :)

Thank you arne.roysland! :)

I found one interesting article : https://threatenedtaxa.org/index.php/JoT...
This spotting very closely resembles to the one (Ptilocerus cf. montandoni) shown in the article.

Hi Ornithoptera80, Thank you for the ID suggestion! :)

Just few clarifications :

1. It's abdomen is not as bright reddish as shown in the reference link. The spotting has brownish red abdomen. I have observed this spotting few times. It has been exactly same color as in pics.

2. There are only 2 white bands on the abdomen (1st band is between brownish red area and black area. 2nd bank is inside the black area).

Are these differences because of variations (specific to Indian sub-continent) shown in Apis florea?

Thank you!:) Is it Male? As per below link Male has 3 spots and Female has single spot on Forewing : https://www.mothsofindia.org/#!/sp/35496...

Thank you Ornithoptera80! :)

Thank you ashimgogoi.ag and Ornithoptera80! :)
It matches well with C.peregrina.
C.perornata has fire pattern at wing edges. So, this doesn't match.
C.puella has wavy pattern at the 1st band. So, this doesn't match.

By referring below link, this seems Female (
