Not sure which Fourline Blue, Dr Seow, is this Singapore Fourline Blue (Nacaduba pavana singapura)?

[Psyche]

Yes, it is N. pavana.
This is one of two species of Fourline Blue in which the bands have dark striae within the white striae.

The 2nd species (also recorded in Singapore)N. russelli have large bulging submarginal spots.

TL Seow :Cheers.
