Female Ionolyce helicon?

[Painted Jezebel]

I am starting to doubt several of my photo IDs as I prepare new pages. I have this as a female Ionolyce helicon, but I am wondering whether it may be a Prosotas aluta? I can not tell them apart!:embrass:

Despite the squashed perspective, this one retains the angular hindwing and the sinuous-looking forewing postdiscal band that helps to ID it as a female I. helicon.

These little butts can be quite tricky. Looking at this one I think I may have mis-ID one of Federick lycaenid as a female I. helicon a while back.

Thanks so much, Seow. For the last couple of hours, I have had all my books open on the desk trying to decide, and it was doing my head in. I had it right after all.
