Dr Seow, your views are needed for this common fella. The striations look a bit strange - the post-discal band is rather close to the submarginal band at space 3. Nacaduba kurava or beroe? Shot at Telok Blangah Hill Park, where N. kurava​ was more commonly seen.

Somev of these forms are due to individual variation, ie spot mutation that arise spontaneously, gene introgression from crossing with other species.
Above the innermost FW band is a costal spot which rules out N. beroe.
The FW submarginal spots with rounded inner margins are as for Nacaduba kurava.


TL Seow: Cheers.
