Rapala dieneces/suffusa

[atronox]

I believe this is R. dieneces from the slightly scalloped post-discal band(more or less straight in suffusa).
R. damona is probably very unlikely.

Agreed it should be R. dieneces.
The three species are very similar on the underside & easily confused.
eg The extent of the HW orange area indicates this one below is R dieneces.

Two old shots taken from a distance. This should be a female R. dieneces right?

It should be R. dieneces.
Rather worn.
There is no suggestion it could be something else.
