Seow, are these A. paulina? The 2nd one looks like something else?

The Appias can all look confusingly similar as they are very variable in colouring.

The two are both A. paulina.

A. pandione can be very similar, but in the male the HW marginal spots form a band & the FW underside is partly marked with black as on the upperside.
