Zela sp. from Karom waterfall, Peninsular Thailand

In a very dark part of the forest I spotted this Zela that at first sight looks like Zela zeus, but I think could be instead Zela elioti.

Anybody has the PDF of

Kirton, L.G. & J.N. Eliot,2004 : A Revision of the Rattan-Feeding Skipper Genus, Zela de Nicéville (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae)
Malay. nat. J. 56(4):317-367 ?

You definitely have Z. elioti.
I have the journal with the article in it, but it is difficult to use to compare field shots & many of the museum specimens are of poor quality.

Simply put.

Z. zeus ;FW spots in cell, space 2, 3 & 6. UnH cellend mark prominent.
