"GBIF seems to be a very good platform for a preliminary survey."

Care must be taken as GBIF offers many observations from iNaturalist.
There are many misidentifications.
However the location given is very useful.
eg correct examples of R. imparata can be obtained from Taiwan as R. moestalis is absent there.

Berta annulifera (= bearing rings).
FW postmedial finely irregular & continuous.
Discal spots made of small rings.
https://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-9...trini_47_2.php
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/56738892

The wide empty green space between the postmedial & antemedial is often confused with the description of B albiplaga.
In B. albiplaga the FW postmedial is mostly spot-like although continuous.

Geometrid moth like Maxates.


TL Seow ;Cheers.
PS Off for two days CNY, before resuming search.
Can't do proper search on smartphone.

No match found after going thru Erebidae & Thailand Noctuiidae.
Very similar to Rhesala imparata nut for the two discal spots.
India only have two sp of Rhesala, moestalis, & imparata but all Rhesala ssp seem to lack these spots.
Still could be an aberration.


41. https://www.butterflycircle.com/atta...8&d=1737920768
Maxates.
India have at least a dozen species and no literature on it.
Only 4-5 species are identifiable.

TL Seow: Cheers.

Thank you so much Dr. Seow for all your review and detailed discussion.
I got quite confused on

https://www.butterflycircle.com/atta...2&d=1737380401

Here are the specimen images of this above attached individual collected.

No. 18 Revision

DSC_3463.jpg DSC_3476.jpg

Does this match Amblychia pardicelata?

After going through some web searches and taxonomic review of the old literature, this also has resemblance with A. hymenaria.

Kindly help me out in this case.

Literature suggest the underside of A. pardicelata to be whitish with a large black spot at the end of the discal area.

This is perhaps a male individual.
