1. Potanthus trachala female.
FW spots 4 & 5 equal sized, detached from other groups; HW band with 'split' appearance; note upper spot 8(of subapical) unusually small.

2. Taractrocera archias. female.

3 & 4 P. omaha is right. Males.
Veins across HW band distinctly darkened; FW spots 4 & 5 equal; note in pic. 3 uppermost spot 8 is also unusually small.
