    Default Melanitis

    #30 https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/230444429

    Most likely female Melanitis zitenius.

    The females of M. phedima & zitenius can be very similar.

    In M. zitenius the Fw costa (forward margin) is less arched & the falcate Fw apex have a longer & more acute hook.

    In M. phedima the FW costa is very arched (rounded) & the apical hook is shorter & less acute.
