    Female Potanthus trachala.
    Forewing subapical spots outer margins deeply notched; little overlap between groups of spots.
    Hindwing combined spot 4/5 jutting out; small connecting spot 6.
    P. trachala is very variable & may not have those dark blotches on the hindwing.

    Male Pelopidas agna.
    Typical spotting for Pelopidas including central cellspot.
    Light ochreous brown colour without any grey shading.

    Female Potanthus ?confucius. (The 'narrower' wings is due to the slightly head-on view.)
    Veins very lightly darkened, not so on forewing.
    A point to remember is that the female Dart often have lighty darkened veins where the male is not, eg. P. serina, T. augias, T. ohara.
    The female omaha has typically dark veins.

    The ground colour is also more heavily darkened; wide overlaps between the groups of spots.
    This should be the male P. confucius.
