Zographetus doxus. Female.
The two species were easily confused in the past.
Males are identified by their large white area on the antennal clubs.
Zographetus doxus.
Ground with a more yellow bloom in the discal (central) HW area.Margins broadly brown.
Space 4 & 5 paler , yellower than inner adjoining HW cell.
HW veins are noticeably darkened.
Males.
