What diagnostic features distinguish L. uda from M. convecta?

The forewing more elongated in M. convecta, and the forewing pattern is different (despite very similar white spots with black fore and aft).

Looking again, the faint transverse dotted line is closer to the straight line of line of M. convecta than the arcs of Leucania uda
