7. Neptis nata.

8. Neptis nata.
The features are that of N. nata.
1. FW submarginal spots slightly curved in at apex.
2. HW submarginal spots relatively separate above but UnH somewhat continuous.
3. UnH subcostal band curved down to join the discal band.
4. There is no black edging of the white bands as seen in both N. sappho & hylas.
N. hylas ;FW submarginal spots slightly curved in at apex; FW postdiscal spots tend to be wide. HW submarginal spots partially separate in outer/upper half; Underside tawny brown bands black-deged.

https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/sp/925/Neptis-sappho
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/lim1/720140010.html
There is probably some gene introgression from N. hylas causing the colour change.
