There are a few species of Symbrenthias but this one is the only with a noticeable ocelli on the inside of its hindwings. This is the commonest member of the genus Symbrenthia in Raub.
I almost gave this one a miss thinking it was a Neptis but on closer observation found that it had a tail and unusually marked undersides. This is my first encounter with the not-so-common Intricate Jester. Unfortunately, as I was trying to get better shots of the insect, farmers on motorbikes zoomed passed the trail and disturbed my session...the photos were taken on 01 May 2013 @ 10:26 am.

Deeper into the usual trek and one week later, I chanced upon another specimen (11 May 2013 @ noon).
