Comment number:   1
By:   Fanie Rautenbach
Comment:   Aranda has an anal-angular projection on the hindwing (i.e. a tail) which I don't see here. It could also be A. susanae or A. trimeni which looks very similar. If you are still in this area, catch one and get an upper side shot. That may help with the identification.
