Two decades ago, the late Sunny Chir have an intriguing pic of a female Curetis that is marked as in C. saronis but seem to be marked with dark specks.
Unfortunately I have not been able to trace this although I think I kept a shot of it.
A recent observation seem remarkably similar . https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/256536296 Correction: This image is actually male..
The FW band is sort of bent slightly to be parallel to the margin.
The black dotd are rather sparse but those at the bases of FW space 1b, 2-5 looks similar.
These black dots can be sparse in some cases.

Curetis sperthis. Possibly still extant.
