They are female (top) & male Jamides bochus.
This species look remarkably like a Nacaduba species but can be distinguished by the 'barb' in space 1b (near inner margin).
The 'barb' is present in most Jamides but never in Nacaduba.

J. bochus is the only Jamides here in which the FW postdiscal band is broken at all points.
The peripheral spots on the FW tends to be blurry.

The male here is remarkable in having the markings rather sharp.
Two males for comparison.
