Dear Dr Seow, need your help in IDing the following Nacadubas. Thanks!
Is it Nacaduba calauria malayica?

Yes, they are N. calauria.
Note the smaller one on the left is the female with the FW termen(outer margin) rounded.
Iy seems at least in our region the FW postdiscal band is almost always straight & unbroken .(note N. berenice & kurava also have examples with a straight FW band)
The FW submarginal spots 4 & 5 are typically sharply pointed.
Male & female.
