Satyrinae: Brakefieldia

I think this is a Brakefieldia eliasis.
If I got the ID correct I think it is a species not seen very often due to its limited distribution (Angola and one province in DRC (Kongo-Central)).

Maybe you, CabinTom, know this species ?

The part of the yellow on the hidewings which is most of the time covered by forewing remains light yellow.

Thanks ! I´m looking forward to get your opinion one a few Belenois I have drying on the board at the moment.
So much variation in both appearance and size makes them hard for me to ID ...
