Post 24. last pix.

I think it should be a male N. calauria.

There is still a fair bit of confusion because of variations & what appear to be intermediates.

It is necessary to determine the gender first , male here from habit & brush end abdomen.

The beroe male have the dark striae in the FW postdiscal band obsolete or poor; wingbases dark-shaded.

The berenice male have the marginal spots rather flat & the HW marginal spot 3 (above the eyespot ) flatter.
Three males with uppers.

The male calauria tend to have the marginal spots bulging ;HW marginal spot 3 rounded; Marginal & submarginal spots usually dark.
