Mating Nacaduba

[Cruiser]

Shot this mating pair at CCA yesterday, should belong to Nacaduba spp. Welcome any ID suggestion.

Interesting find, Ben Jin. :cheers:

FourLine-Blue! This could be one of the remaining few FourLine-Blue species reported to be extant by early authors but yet to be re-discovered.

Uppersides of both sexes and possibly the genitalia might have to be examined in order to ascertain the species ID.

Not an easy genus to separate the species. Interesting difference between the two as far as the submarginal markings are concerned. :thinking:

There are a few species with four lines on the forewings that are still missing from the original C&P4's checklist.

Interesting find!
What first caught my eye was that the post-discal striae for the butt on the left(male?) seemed a little "off"(comparing with female) from the other four-lines in the checklist.
Hope it's sth new!:grin2:

If they are not mated ..........I would have thought they are two different species.
