1. Parantica melaneus.
In P. melaneus the brown area (where the scent patch is in the male) is narrower & smaller.
The pale windows in space 2 & 3 larger.
The two white postdiscal dots (always present) run parallel to the submarginal white dots.

P. swinhoei.
The HW brown area is larger, wider, so that the the windows in space 2 & 3 are reduced.
The two white postdiscal dots may be absent. If present are not parallel to the submarginal white dots.
