    The shift in postdiscal spot 4 is too little as its inner margin is not stepped with spot 5 and the pale marginal line is unbroken.

    I did try both lines 101 and 120 as well as line 153.

    The closest match is A. aurelia ignoring the spot in space 11. The darkly contrasted colouration and broad band seems to match.

    There were a few aurelia IDs in the past that may turn out to be evansi.

    PS. Looking at A. aida the degree of shift distad of spot 4 is quite variable and can be quite small eg. pl. 41/14. Thus following line 101 it can only be A. aida despite the band being broad.
    PS2. I forgot. A. havilandi also need to be considered.
