for the lovers of Mylothris  ... note the variation of ducarmei  the first 4 are ruandana and all others probably ducarmei, first column 5th and 6th places are typical ducarmei

Brilliant! This will be useful to me as it is very instructive. I only first came across specimens of this species a few weeks ago and have several that I shall compare with your picture. I am intrigued to see some males have yellow forewings.

I am intrigued to see some males have yellow forewings. be careful .... that second column five first specimens are females. The only "yellow" male is at the top of 5th column and the last of first column is an aberrant "sagala/jacksoni" group

OK. Thanks for the correction. I had assumed (wrongly) that the females were the ones in the last two columns. I had spotted the sagalaa/ jacksoni specimen.
