    This observation is almost certain to be a male Curetis sperthis.
    It have the following characters.
    1. The ground is finely speckled with black dots.
    2. The FW band is set very close and mostly parallel to the margin.
    3The HW postdiscal spots 6 & 7 are in line; likewise submarginal spots 6 & 7 are in line.

    Compare with a standard C. sperthis male below it is a very good match.

    1.This looks to be a female C. sperthis.
    The markings are that of the bulis group.
    The FW band is parallel to the margin and the ground appeared speckled.
