Vo Anh Tuan, it can be. The female of the Dark-brand has more than two eyes spots on the forewing underside. Furthermore, your suggestion is not recorded in SL.
"The ocelli are similar to the ocelli on the upper side, and vary from two to four on the forewing and from five to seven (the preapical two being sometimes obsolescent) on the hindwing; of this latter, the posterior four, not three as in Mycalesis perseus, are in a straight line; finally, beyond the rows of ocelli on both wings, there are pale or purplish-white subterminal and terminal sinuous lines." -Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycalesis_...)

Underside of forewing with more than two eye spots cannot be "mineus".
