Excellent. Need to see the hindwings to determine the species.

Thank you. Updated with hindwing photos.

Excellent. The forewing patterns of H. armigera and H. punctigera are similar and variable, and not much use for distinguishing these two species. But the pale patch in the hindwing dark marginal band distinguishes H. armigera from H. punctigera.
