    Default Udara with distinct iD feature.

    Two Udara species are similar in sharing a distinctive feature.
    They both have two tornal spots in space 1b and none in space 1a.
    Most Udara species have three tornal spots.

    Both also lack submarginal spots( lunules0 on both wings.

    Udara akasa.
    Underside white & HW marginal spots w2hite.
    Occassionally a small streak may be present in space 1b representing a third spot.

    Udara akasa appears to be common in the highlands.

    UnH strongly darker grey.

    Udara camenae.
    This is very similar in lacking the submarginal spots/lunules but is three-spotted at the HW tornus.
