    This is one of those unresolved question regarding the difference of P. omaha & ganda.
    Both have light shading on the underside & a yellow abdominal end.

    P. omaha dull ochreous; veins across the bands dark-dusted on both surfaces.

    P. ganda ;deeper orange tone ;veins across bands not darkdusted or just barely.
    It doesn't help when all the ganda specimen in the link also show degree of dark veins.

    The colouration in photos is also very misleading.

    Likely to be correct as P. ganda.

    Verdict; Probably Potanthus ganda.
