Hi Viv

I'm not the greatest when it comes to separating subspecies, I went by the fact that only Nacaduba pactolus continentalis is listed in Butterflies of Thailand. Edition 2. Also based on Les Day's ID as per the link for Samui Butterflies.

Hope this helps.

Hi Rob,
I've lined all three images side by side on the screen to compare and can't tell the difference, so what is the difference between odon & continentalis please?

Hi Viv,
I think the subspecies is continentalis as opposed to odon
