Just some of the more obvious differences, taken from C&P4:

Curetis santana malayica (Malayan Sunbeam)
- Underside both wings powdered with miniute black dots.
- Underside forewing post-discal series of black striae more oblique, directed almost to the apex.

Curetis saronis sumatrana (Sumatran Sunbeam)
- Underside not sprinkled with small black dots.
- Underside forewing post-discal band more or less parallel to termen.
