In looking for pix of Parnara apostata I came across pix of a female Potanthus mingo taken in Pulau Semakau 2009.
Note female. FW apex pointed & termen bowed. Correction : Male.
FW spots strongly notched on the outer margins resembling P. trachala.
HW band outer margin strongly excavated & edged with black.
Its shape give rise to the name of Zigzag Banded Dart in Thailand.

The male encountered by Jonathan & the others in 2011. (corrected)
The FW spots are not so strongly notched.
The HW markings are almost identical.
