1. Female Pelopidas assamenssis.
FW with large distinctly white spots.
Antenna with a prominent white patch.
HW with a variable nos. of spots.
2. Potanthus omaha male.
P. omaha is very variable.
The pale form (probably dsf here) can be very confusing as the black dusting is weak.
The veins are lightly darkened.
The outer margins of the FW spots are not strongly notched & the HW's band outer margin weakly black shaded.

P. ganda have the veins not dark-dusted; FW spots more strongly notched.
HW with darker shading & outer margins of band broadly dark-shaded.
