Females of Heliocypha biforata, Heliocypha perforata and Aristocypha fenestrella

Aristocypha fenestrella, Heliocypha biforata and Heliocypha perforata are found in Peninsular Malaysia. The size of  these species is not much different from each other. The males of these species  are easily told apart by the coloration of their body. On the other hand, the females have quite similar coloration. However, they can be distinguished by the yellow marking of their bodies (see the below photos).
