Diagnosis. As pointed out by Malicky (2010) , this species is very similar to Oecetis iphitos Malicky 2005 and Oecetis philoktetes Malicky 2005 as all of these species belong to the Oecetis testacea Group and have a very similar color pattern on the forewings. However, Oecetis asmada has the dorsal branch of each inferior appendage very broad in lateral view, whereas in Oecetis iphitos each inferior appendage has the dorsal branch in the form of an equilateral triangle and Oecetis philoktetes has each inferior appendage with three tooth-like structures: one ventral, one dorsal, and one median tooth; from each of these teeth arises a very fine long appendage which is bent dorsad in lateral view. Distribution. India (Andaman & Nicobar Islands ).
