I am not 100% sure if this really is Leptophobia eleone, so I need some more time to proof. Hereby some links to compare. I am confused about the dark bar at the margin an the notch opposite this bar.

Looks similar, similar aera, but I don't like the narrow bar and the missing dark curve: http://www.neotropicalbutterflies.com/Si...
