A couple of photos here.

The first I know is Acytolepis lambi puspi.

The second may also be that species, but there are a couple of differences that make me wonder. Firstly, on the forewing, there is no spot in space 9. Secondly, I ca not see any clear spot at the base of space 7 on the hindwing.

Comments would be most welcome.

I think you are right.

The 2nd matches Celastrina lavendularis which is not rare.
