Typically female M. gopara have longer tail at v4 than other species but this varies.Originally Posted by Banded Yeoman
Uncle Seow, thanks for the ID and elaboration of the different Miletus species!
I agree with you that this individual is a female, as the hindwings are distinctly angled. In the 2nd picture, the angle of the butterfly to the camera and the shallow depth of field makes this difficult to see.
Just to clarify, would M. gopara female have a more prominent tail as compared to M. gaesa female?

You can look at all three species, namely ,biggsii, gopara & gaesa at PL 8 & 9 here.

TL Seow: Cheers.
PS. The only way to be sure if this is something new is to see the upperside.
