Cryptaspasma lasiura (Meyrick, 1912). India: Karnataka (Coorg).
Cryptaspasma helota (Meyrick, 1905)
Notocelia helota Meyrick, 1905. Journal of Bombay Natural History Society, 16:586. TL: Sri Lanka. Text at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/5725935#page/684/mode/1up. Not a great description.
Robinson et al, Smaller moths of SE Asia, pg. 95, pl. 15/4. States best separated by genitalia, but Cryptaspasma helota is the most common species.

Cryptaspasma lasiura (Meyrick, 1912)
Eucosma lasiura Meyrick, 1912. Journal of Bombay Natural History Society, 21: 868
Could be Cryptaspasma helota or Cryptaspasma lasiura. Best left at Cryptaspasma spp. level.
JR: I think it can be identified as Cryptapasma helota. Cr. lasiura is rather allied to Cr. brachyptycha.
