Straight dark fuzzy submarginal line not intersecting the eyespot. No small black and white triangle on the costa near the base, but is this the underside?

I would say the dark fuzzy submarginal line is a distance from the eyespot, not adjacent to it.

Hi Don, the images include both sides, the ‘eyespot’ is significantly darker on one side compared to the other
