I know what you mean, yes, I meant the dark spot. But maybe we both need new glasses, since I posted a link for Auriplena with exactly this dark spot I was talking about for Punkikonis. Maybe the range might help a little bit more. In the meanwhile I suggest we take Trachea cf. auriplena as a compromise. I am on the road with limited resources.
Maybe I need glasses? I still don't see more than some color and pattern-variation between the species, is it the lower grey spot on the inner side of the forewing you mean?

Ok, now I know what spot you mean, I agree with T. auriplena :)

Yes, Trachea auriplena. Punkikonis has an additional dark spot on the forewing, instead of the larger, "rectangular" greyish patch.

It's definitively the genus Trachea, my first guess was T. auriplena, but T. punkikonis is also similar, most likely other species as well that I can't find photos of. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations..., http://insecta.pro/taxonomy/22678
