The predominant colour of the female is black; the forewings are dark blue at the base, with a narrow median band of the same colour. The hindwings are towards the anal angle yellow, proximally with a slight reddish tinge; the yellowish anal border is confined by an oblique blue intermedian band, and the anal area contains in addition two indistinct crescents as well as two circular patches of violet. The underside is in the male redbrown, with white longitudinal bands having a slight violet tinge, and with a strongly
undulate reddish-yellow submarginal fascia, which latter is met with in all the subspecies. The female is chiefly gray with whitish anal area and a pale yellow submarginal band. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Malayan Assyrian is recorded against all the insects logged in Kaeng Krachan National Park (9 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
