    1. Female Isma damocles is right.
    White-tpped antennae; banded abdomen ; large cellspots & the positional relationship to the big spot 2.

    2. Male Quedara monteithi.
    Note angular shape of FW & the HW is broadly lobed. A. nigrita have rounded margins.
    Antennae all black. Hyarotis iadra male is similar but antennal tip has a white spot at base of the apiculus.

    3. Male Potanthus ganda.
    Veins vaguely/barely darkened ; FW spots 2 & 3 outer margins notched; darker ground shading than P. omaha.
    Note abdominal tip not darkened (as in P. omaha) ,a variable feature in several spp. & not diagnostic of P. omaha.

    4. Female Potanthus trachala.
    FW groups of spots separated with no overlap.
    Outer margins of FW spots strongly notched.

    TL Seow :Cheers.
    PS.
    Ancistroises nigrita.

    Quedara monteithi male.(Note, a Baoris would have FW spots & light-coloured cilia.)
