They are all correct except 4 should be P. athamas as well.
P. athamas & arja can be confusingly similar.
Both have broad or narrow bands, but typically broader in P. arja.
The main difference is colour. P. arja being white or greenish on the upperside & P. athamas yellow or yellow green.
P. athamas ;band more often narrow. FW distal margin strongly excavated with a distinct angle at vein 2, FW cellspot often two (variable).
Underside band more strongly tinged yellow.
