(Butler, 1889) (India) as follows: the male antennae are bipectinate to tip; greyish brown bands are present basally of the antemedial line of the forewing and distally of the postmedial lines of both wings; the forewing medial line converges with the postmedial line at 1A + 2A; the hindwing postmedial line acutely protrudes between M1 and M3; the submarginal lines of both wings are dark grey. But the species can be distinguished by the following characters: this species (length of forewing: 28-30 mm in male) is larger than

Wehrli was based on a single, rather aberrant specimen, with a single printed label &quot;Shanghai China&quot;. Similar forms occur in Japan, as mentioned by Wehrli (1941). So this name very probably does not denote a valid subspecies and it is synonymized correctly.
