Need help to confirm ID for the following... tough group for me. Unfortunatel, I only have record shots.
Are the first two Nacaduba beroe neon & the last, N. berenice icena?
Much appreciated!

1 & 2 is Nacaduba kurava nemana female. Note the broad submarginal band & large spot in space 6 on the hindwing.
Wonderful for getting the upperside confirmatory shot.
3 is a male Nacaduba berenice icena.

Thanks! That's new for Singapore, I think. It was shot at Butterfly Hill, Pulau Ubin, on 30 Jan 2009.
It is not officially on the checklist, but have been photographed several times before.
Yours is the first to show the distinctive upperside of the female.
