I think the forewing tips need to be more rounded for Prasinocyma genus. I cannot also see any hint of the typical P. semicrocera forewing pattern and there is no reddish colour onthe forewing and hindwing trailing edges.

There are pale zigzag lines across the forewings evident in the second photo, that look rather more jagged than in P. semicrocea. I do not see the central dark spot or subtle pale banding of Poecilasthena thalassias.
