Curetis sperthis sperthis

It is Curetis sperthis.

The tiny black dots indicate the bulis group.
All the others, bulis, santana & felderi have the forewing band more slanted. See santana below.

This one have the forewing band more parallel to the termen.

PS. Another example of C. sperthis which looks different.

PS2. The slant of the band in bulis/santana is strong. It is possible in some examples of felderi the slant may not be so strong, & so may cause a bit of confusion.

This one has the palpi spotted whereas the palpi of felderi is white & unspotted.
Below are examples of felderi. Note the 2nd has the band less strongly slanted.
