1. male N. berenice icena.
This is easy enough. FW submarginal spots narrow & irregular; marginal spots relatively flat.

2. Likely female N. beroe neon.
The FW submarginal spots are band-like; note lower spot 2 & 3 have inner margins straight (vs rounded in N. kurava female.)
HW submarginal spot 6 is large as in kurava, but this a variable feature.
(Dark wingbase not seen in the female beroe.)

3. female N. calauria malayica.
Dark spots; FW marginal spots big & bulging; submarginal spots narrow & irregular; submg. spost 4 & 5 pointed as in berenice.)
