Run into this female Nacaduba? Based on the shape and colour of the marginal/submarginal spots, my best guess is that it is N. calauria. What do you think?

I would consider this a fairly typical female N. calauria with its large & dark marginal and submarginal spots.

What I am interested is the male, as in the past the female N. berenice as been thought to be the male calauria.

Thanks, Dr Seow for the ID confirmation. :)
Hopefully, one of these days we are lucky enough to run into a mating pair of N. calauria.
It appears some pics in the checklist for N. calauria might not be N. calauria after all. :thinking:
