For E. interruptus Stubbs and Falk say: "Stigma reduced to small spot before tip of Sc."
What this means is, if you look at the small dark patch on the leading edge of the right wing, the vein that runs down parallel to the leading edge should reappear below the patch before it joins on to the leading edge. In the above image I don't think it does, which suggests it is not interruptus.
