Celatoxia marginata.

At first sight the underside appears to be a perfect match for C. albidisca, which is endemic to the Western Ghats.
HW postdiscal spot 7 (largest) & postdiscal spot 4 are elongated into streaks typical in albidisca.
However, C. albidisca does not have the HW upperside whitish & on the underside there is no spot at the base of HW space 7.

Udara dilecta.

Celatoxia marginata. Note there is a black spot at the base of space 7 which may be triangular or just the vein blackened.

Acytolepis puspa can be similar but HW spot 7 is usually large & round & upperside HW have a broad black border; basal spot in space 7 is always prominent ,rounded or triangular.

Some pix ID'ed as Acytolepis need to be re-examined.

TL Seow ; Cheers.
PS. The previous thread looks correct for A. puspa.
