The female of K. sindu is almost identical in some individuals , as the band may also fall short of the costa.
In K. sindu the palpi 3rd segment is short vs. long & tapering in K. rubecula.
K. sindu female.

The two taxa nama & mimetica are now transferred to the genus Hestinalis.
They are darker species lacking the red spots in some Hestina species.
