    Potanthus omaha male.
    Although this looks closer to P. ganda, the veins across the HW band have dark-dustings.

    Potanthus omaha; Veins dark-dusted across HW band on both sides.
    HW with light dustings; abdominal end yellow in the male.(dusky in the female).

    Default ID Correction.

    ID Correction. Potanthus ganda.

    Khew's multiple shots of a single individual show that this is also Potanthus ganda.
