Male
The palps are too long for the males of the other two species, which makes this species placement a little easier than usual.
Also:
The PM line is smoothly curved, near the orbicular spot.
The orbicular spot is not crescent shaped. (two spots)
The (male's) wings have a protruding tuft, midway along the costal edge.
The (male's) wing lacks a dark spot next to the indentation of the hind margin.
