male & female Prosotas nora.
The two species are very difficult to ID even with upperside in pix.
Usually in P. pia the FW submarginal spots are larger & bulkier whereas in P. nora it seem almost always to be narrow lunules or chevrons (Vs).
In P. pia the peripheral spots especially the submarginal spots tend to fade out.
Male & female India.

The females of P. nora also tend to have fading peripheral spots but the submarginal spots are narrow.
