Nacaduba Niueensis
''Nacaduba'' is a genus of gossamer-winged butterflies (Lycaenidae). It constitutes many of the species commonly called "lineblues". As they are the genus initially erected to contain all lineblues, they might be considered the "typical" lineblues, as opposed to the species relatives now separated in ''Catapyrops'', '' Prosotas'' and ''Petrelea''.

The underside is hoary brown. On the underside of the forewing there are transverse bands of the ground colour defined by very fine white lines as follows: * a band across middle of cell extended from the subcostal vein to vein 1 * a short band defining and enclosing the discocellulars and a bisinuate discal band extended from veins 1 to 7; succeeding these are an inner and an outer subterminal series of transversely elongate spots somewhat darker than the ground colour and a slender ...
