Thailand
(not examined), it is recorded here for the first time from
India
. This species resembles

in coloration - both have very pale mottling on the forewings and the median spot is not margined by dark brown and both also have very similar male genitalia differing only in details as discussed under the latter species. This species is recorded for the first time from the Indian subcontinent.
