Oxaenanus brontesalis.
Widespread species from India to Sundaland.
https://www.mothsofindia.org/sites/m...167_267287.jpg
The 2nd species in NE India O. picticilia is little known.
https://v3.boldsystems.org/index.php...e?taxid=766160
The nsme picticilia means painted cilia & would suggest it have prominent cilia.

Callopistria exotica.
Several species are very similar and confusing.
The description is based on Holloway's remarks.
Position of the marks are described in a set specimen.
C. exotica Markings stringly contraste.
FW antemedial angled in the middle.
Postmedial sinuous.
FW submarginal lae triangles reaching the postmedial band.
Reniform (discal spot) large, stronglywhitened especially posteriorly.

Similar species.
C. repleta.
Antemedia angled at 1/3 from dorsum (lower margin)..diagnostic.
Postmedial onlt slightly sinuous.
Reniform large & whitish.

C. pulchrilinea.
FW submarginal close to the sinuous postmedial.
Antemedial rounded rather than angled & broken anteriorly.
Reniform whitened posteriorly.

C. rivularis.
FW submarginal closer to the sinuous postmedial
Reniform not white enhanced.
Antemedial angled centrally.
https://www.mothsofindia.org/sites/m...72f8567e-2.jpg
C. maillardi
Antemedial centrally sharply angled.
Postmedial sinuous.
FW submarginal spots well separated from the postmedial (submarginal less elongate sharply, variable).
Renform usually not white-enhanced.

These are Catoria sublavaria.
There is also an element of doubt whether 31 should be C. olivescens
31.https://www.butterflycircle.com/atta...7&d=1737907296
C. olivescens have heavier markings & a larger Hw discal spot.
In comparing the regional difference the HW discal spot should be large enough to have an irregular white pupil.

The markings are as for Callopistria but faded.
Looks good as C. rivularis.
Note the black triangle on the margin is close to the postmedial.
Renform not enhanced white.
Antemedial broadly angled centrally.
The two C. maillardi & rivularis seem much confused & mixed up.
Holloway said the postmedial in maillardi is well separated from the submarginal white marks.This meant the postmedial is well separated from the main body of the submarginals not their long points.
Note antemedial sharply angled centrally.
