It would appear a lot of perspective distortion in photos & variations in the species themselves make it very difficult to ID the females.

FW margin more strongly rounded esp. lower 2/3.
UnH twin black tornal spots sharp pointed.
FW with ths white cross band merging with the inner submarginal white line & often with both.
HW submarginal spot 2 (not blackened) somewhat flatter & not much taller than the adjacent black tornal spots.
