Re: PBF?
I would have no doubt in calling that a typical male euphrosyne.

Re: PBF?
You're right too, Paul - that method, which I've advertised in the past, doesn't really work. But it does reflect something about the shape and position of those spots, even if it fails mathematically, when you consider the ratio.
Male euphrosyne is never difficult anyway - the floaty triangles and the generally rounded, spotty, bright feel about the whole thing are quite distinctive even when the underside (which is annoyingly variable anyway) is not visible.
