Example of SE.Thailand and Vietnam resembles to ssp.ariana, but underside of both wings has very strong purple wash. And female has more broader black border on the upperside of both wings. Though I treat it as ssp.ariana for the time being, it might be a distinct subspecies as Corbet,1948 pointed out. Further study in future is needed to the classification of this population.
