The other smaller species belong to several subgroups.
They have the HW postdiscal spot 6 larger & placed closer to the cellend bar.
except for A. kurzi all are nearly unidentifiable from the underside alone.
A. muta/moorei have UnF spot 2 & 3 out of line (hidden).
A. kurzi have the V spot ( split here) widely separated from the postdiscal band.

TL Seow: Cheers.
PS. The differences between A. amphimuta & major as stated above are more as in Singapore.
In P. Malaysia they may be nearly inseparable.
