Greetings,
I photographed the following at Taman Negara. I am a little confused about the identities and would appreciate more information about these. I can't see what is used to separate Black-tipped Archdukes from Archdukes.
male Black-tipped Archduke (Lexias dirtea merguia) or male Archdukes (Lexias pardalis dirteana)? How are the two species separated?

female Black-tipped Archduke (Lexias dirtea merguia) or female Archduke (Lexias pardalis dirteana)? ?

Yellow Archduke (Lexias canescens pardalina) -- female? What does the male look like? Any links?
