- The largest size of the individuals of Hyponephele lupina and the smallest of the individuals of Hyponephele lycaon.
- The fact that in the islands of the eastern Aegean and in Crete only Hyponephele lupina exists.
- The differences in the lines, which are present in the UNH, relatively clear and complete in Hyponephele lycaon and very faint in Hyponephele lupina (indicated below in red).
