    Nacaduba calauria.

    These are probably N. calauria males.
    The submarginal spots are lunulate in pix 1 & 2 & FW spots 4 & 5 sharp-pointed.
    The 3rd pic has most of the submarginal spots flattened, but spots 4 & 5 sharp & FW band straight.

    N. calauria in P. Malaysia & Singapore is slightly different.
    FW spots 4 & 5 are sharply pointed & FW band almost always straight & intact.
    Male P.Malaysia.

    The male upperside is a darker violet & female a darker blue than that of N. berenice female.

    If the4se observations are correct then this female looks like it is N. calauria.


    TL Seow : Cheers.
