Mmm quite similar, but I think I would favour P. neurotenes, based on the more disinct and simiar forewing pattern?

I know I suggested it, but Prepalla neurotenes lacks the distinct black line, with white either side, framing the wing around the apex and termen.

OK, agreed, the pattern of lines at the apex appears to be dias]gnostic for sepearting the two species.
