					1. Female Nacaduba kurava.
 FW postdiscal band typically straight & entire.
 The submarginal spots are often large with rounded margins.
 Female UpF blue have a white apical area.
 Examples from different countries.

 Possible confusion with female N. calauria . The submarginal spots especially spots 4 & 5 are pointy.
