    Default Id request

    Dear Sir,
    I have followed the interesting discussion on identification of Choaspes species in this forum. Please help me in clearing my confusion on the following butterflies. All photos were taken in Meghalaya, India. All are different specimens.

    A. Could this be stigmatus as the tail looks quite long?

    B. C. furcatus?
