Acytolepis puspa gisca.
The dsf of A. puspa & C. marginata are so similar on the underside that they seem identical.

The slight difference is the spot at the base of space 7.
In Acytolepis puspa this spot is triangular ,often with a rounded margin.

In addition the UpF male of Acytolepis puspa have a narrow black border .
In C. marginata the black boder is broad.
However, the females UpF of both have broad black borders & look similar.
