    I made some close scrutiny of these confusing species .
    CELASTACYT.png

    Celatoxia marginata,
    FW without a costal spot 8. FW spots often larger.
    FW postdiscal spots 3, 4, & 5 arranged almost at right angle to each other, steplike; spot 3 parallel & close to margin.
    UnH base of space 7 with a very narrow mark/spot.

    UnF with a spot 9 at the costa.
    UnH with a triangular spot at the base of space 7, often rounded on outer margin.

    Acytolepis puspa gisca.
    UnF spots 3, 4, & 5 out of line, with spot4 almost at right angle to spots 3 & 5. Likewise on HW.

    UnF without a spot 9. Spots with strong white halos.
    No actual spot at base of space 7. A dark vein is probably due to abrasion.
