    Most likely Tarucus venosus.

    Of the Tarucus that are similar T. indicus & balkanicus are found mostly in the west & south.

    Of T nara the typical form range from S. India to Bengal, while two synonyms extricatus & alternatus are mostly western.

    The form of T. nara have the HW discal spots less irregular & rougly form 3 bands.
    Typical male & underside.
