Is this poor sample of a Cupha sp. (Cupha erymanthis ?) from Pulau Mantanani (Sabah, Malaysia) an aberrant or a gynandromorph ? I presume that the second hypothesis is the right one ?

Sorry, right now I'm far from by butterflies books !

It seems more than he has an atrophied wing, that occurs from time to time.
