There is no doubt. It is really A. major.
Individual variations mean these 2 overlaps widely in the features.
From the valid examples above I can only form the following conclusions.
Arhopala major
The discal and postdiscal spots in space 7 often smaller than the spot in space 6, simetimes only the discal spot is smaller.
The four postdiscal spots in space 2, 3, 4, & 5 is strongly dislocated in the middle at vein 4.
The postdiscal spot in space 1b (above the green mark) is shallowly angled usually forming a J or L .
Arhopala amphimuta
The discal & postdiscal spots in space 7 and the postdiscal spots in space 6 are roughly of equal size usually.
The four postdiscal spots in space 2, 3, 4, & 5 are often in line and band-like. It may be slightly dislocated in the middle at vein 4.(Rarely strongly, due to the mishapened spot in space 3.)
The postdiscal spot in space 1b above the green mark is strongly angled and usually forms a V.
