There are 9 species within the genus Eurema in in Vietnam; Eurema brigitta, laeta, hecabe, blanda, andersoni, ada, simulatrix, novapallida and sari.
The main differences between the species are:
a) the number of spots in the underside forewing cell, combined with
b) the shape of the upperside forewing black markings and
c) the shape of the apical area markings on the forewing underside.
Eurema blanda (sometimes also called Three-spot Grass Yellow) looks very similar to the Eurema hecabe (sometimes also called Common Grass Yellow).
The difference, however, is on the underside of the forewing.
In Eurema blanda there are three small spots and a fourth bigger one in the middle; in Eurema hecabe there are two small spots and one bigger spot in the middle.
This is the subspecies Eurema blanda blanda.
