    Looks to be a worn male Caltoris cahira.
    The antennae are off focus but thereis a pale area. What appear tobe a spot at the tip is irrelevant.

    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 Celatoxia marginata, this spot is a streak or a very narrow triangle.

    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.
