okay, here's what I think.

Black Swallowtails have the two distinct orange dots at the bottom, whether male or female. They have a double row of spots on top side

The Black form of Tiger Swallowtail does not have the second yellow row of spots and have smaller spots orange spots on the side.

Pipevines have no spots on upper top wings.

Don't ask me about Palmedes or Polydamas!
