The Drpadia species are very confusing particularly in Thailand where there are several subspecies.

1 & 3 D. ravindra boisduvalii.

Drupadia ravindra boisduvalii : HW postdiscal spots 'hollow' as in D. theda.
HW postdiscal spot 1b more U-shaped, inner margin not acute/pointed; postdiscal spot 2 short, well separated.
Lower basal series of spots usually close & band-like.

Thanks for the details, I saw red patch on FW of No.1 match to D. ravindra boisduvalii, so difference between ssp. !!
