    To complete the quartet.

    Nacaduba beroe neon.
    FW innermost costal spot above the midcell band absent.
    Male with the dark striae weak to obsolete.
    FW postdiscal band typically broken or dislocated.
    Male upperside deeper purple blue than in calauria.
    Female darkish blue with FW submarginal spots which may be blue or white.

    Three males.

    Female; This female have a vague mark like a third costal spot but the upperside (shown by Sunny) is darkish blue with blue FW submarginal spots.

    Ionolyce helicon . Very common & often confused with N. beroe.
    FW innermost costal spot absent (as in N. beroe.)
    FW postdiscal band irregular & often serially dislocated at each vein.
    HW submarginal spots chevrons (V-shaped) rather than lunulate (lunar shape)
    Males.
    Typical.

    Looking more like N. beroe.. 2nd pic possibly hybrid., like beroe but HW submarginal spots pointed. Correction: N. beroe based on FW postdiscal band being barely dislocated at vein 4 & rounded HW.

    Possibly with hybrid blood. Correction : Female N. beroe variant; HW shape is totally wrong for I. helicon female, & FW postdiscal band can be undulate in female beroe.
