The Malayan Plum Judy, Abisara saturata kausambioides (de Nicéville)

Of all the species of Abisaras, this is the most readily recognisable by its dark saturated crimson uppers which are largely unmarked. The undersides has a pair of faint purplish post-discal bands which differentiate it from the others with white bands.

The Abisaras have the same habit of settling with wings half opened like all rionids.

Under flash, the dark crimson uppers have a bluish sheen at an angle.
