The main differences are on the underside, I seem to remember. Adam.

Hi again,

Here are some pictures of the ssp.

I don’t think the differences between these specimens are enough to identify them, as specimens from the same locality vary as well. Just the male of irauana seems to have clearly much less defined internervular stripes on the underside of the forewings than the other specimens...
