Poecilanthrax arethusa confirmed, based on new images at EOL.
P. pluto and one other former candidate were eliminated, based on wing patterns.

I'd say that this is probably
P. arethusa , & maybe the linked one as well. Lets see if Andy volunteers some comments.

I'm sure this and the linked one are the same species, based on my observation and their proximity.
