It is very difficult to be certain but this looks like amaura from Taiwan, as it lacks blue scales peppering the hindwing. HOWEVER, similar specimens also occur across the range of protenor and some amaura have as much blue scaling as protenor. Probably amaura, protenor and euprotenor are all synonyms as there aren't constant differences between them.
