Nacaduba kurava nemana

Fruhstorfer 1916 - Transparent SixLine Blue

This species can be recognised as the underside markings are clearly visible from the upperside. Unfortunately, this does not help in the field.

This is not uncommon in forest clearings and also secondary vegetation on the edges of forests.
