Just a quick look, but it ticks all the carlinae boxes. Nice to have both surfaces. The upf cell spot looks spot on. If Guy doesn't agree I will have a more detailed look, and we have had the debate about the degree of the "C" shape of the carlinae cell spot in the dim and distant past. The unh marginal white mark on vein 5 is sufficiently rectangular for carlinae too. The unh colour looks right too.
