Both are members of the amphimuta group, subgroup amphimuta.

The lack of a tornal white spot indicate either amphimuta or major.

In P. Malaysia they are near impossible to separate based on the undersides.

A. amphimuta.
Male UpF with noder a thread.
UnH V spot wellformed postdiscal spots regular, submarginal spots clearer.
