Correction ;Potanthus pseudomaesa.

There are examples of P. pseudomaesa in which FW spots 4 & 5 are detached.
In fact Evans states this for P. pseudomaesa.


The other fact is P. trachala always have a HW spot 7, often prominent.
HW spot 6 is usually absent or at most vestigial.

Spots normally have strongly concave margins but can be variable.


P. pseudomaesa is usually without a HW spot 7 above (variable).
Spot 6 is more often present.
Spots 2 & 3 only have the margins less concave.
The abdominal end black mark is more bandlike in P. trachala.
P. pseudomaesa with spots 4 & 5 fully detached.
