Dear Dr Seow,

I believe these are the Melanitis leda despite its different variant. Could you please assist?
They are all shot in the same location in Yangon.

Yes, they are M. leda.

The tails at vein 2 & vein 4 are about equally long in M. leda.

In the other two species the tail at vein 4 is about twice as long as the tail at vein 2.
