    Post 62.

    Probably Miletus gopara female. Correction: Miletus biggsii.

    M. symethus.
    This can be eliminated because the HW postdiscal spots are crescent with rounded outer margins.
    Apices of FW & HW are whitish shaded.
    Male & female.

    M. biggsii.
    Underside more uniform & HW postdiscal spots are blocky.
    UnF cellend mark is a thin line.
    Male & female.

    M. gopara.
    Underside with uneven shading & whitish apices as in symethus.
    HW postdiscal spots part crescent & part blocky. FW postdiscal spots in line.
    UnF cellend mark broad band-like.
    Female with a variable 'tail' at vein 4.

    Although the tail is not that prominent in thisfemale, comparing the FW cellend mark between gopara & biggsii seem to suggest the former.(Use the Yutaka images.)


    TlSeow: cheers.
