The HW 4th dark band is strongly notched by the veins.

Amathusia phidippus have this band entire & un-notched.

All other species have some degreeof notchings.
Some can IDed by other features.
eg A. perakana have the 4th band partially broken into separate spot & the FW is sharp.

The hostplant is the widely cultivated oil-palm & the butterfly is said to be common in some places.
Form utana which is very dark was formerly thought to be a separate species.
