    Hi Dr.Seow,

    Is this Miletus symethus petronius?

    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.

    63-64.
    Best left as Miletus biggsii female.

    The tail is not long enough to be that of M. gopara female.
    The FW postdiscal band's spot 6 is dislocated.
    In M. gopara this is typically in line. (Varies.)

    Id features are often vague & variable in Miletus.


    No. 65.
    Female Hypolimnas bolina bolina.
    The female is very variable.



    TL Seow: Cheers.
