    Nacaduba calauria is the most confusing.
    The race in P. Malaysia & Singapore is quite different from that in India.

    N calauria malayica.

    Dark striae strong in both sexes.
    FW postdiscal band almost always straight & only submarginal spots c4 & 5 sharply pointed.
    Up Male darkish violet blue.
    UpFemale with a deeper blue patch than berenice.

    Male ;Note the dark violet upperside showing thru the tear.

    Female on right.

    Toxopeus described ssp evansi in S. India & Sri Lanka page 434.

    The salient points.
    1. UpMale brownish purple with dark gloss.
    2. UpFemale dark greyish brown with wedgeshape purple on FW & a patch on HW.
    3. Male submarginal lunules arranged in a sharply zigzag line; female und submarginal lunules dark brownish grey linking together to form a sharp-edged zigzag line.

    Probable Nacaduba calauria evansi.
