mmm, I see what you are saying. I may be wrong but I find female C. approximata tend to be red/russet tinged, P. laticostata more green/grey. The forewing makings are echoed on the costa and part of the hindwing in C. approximata, less so in P. laticostata. The abrupt upward pointing peak on the postmedial line is what I look for in female P. laticostata. This shot with the weird angle makes this ambiguous. I need to look at this again later.
