Very difficult for me to believe that the males are from Jamaica, they look more like Anaea aidea(that one doesnt live on Jamaica) I collected the endemic Anaea portia from Jamaica in all generations and found them never with that short tails like your upper male.There are differences more in the wet/dry season forms in having the black patterns more or less heavy and my bottom male shows a very rar brownish form Robert Attachments:

I found now the maindifference in the hindwings to your 2 males, so I am now sure they are not jamaicans. Robert Attachments:
