    Three species recorded in the past in Singapore are probably extinct.

    1. Arctornis perfecta.
    Large species with deep & acute FW in the male.
    No discal spot; satiny white without corrugation.

    2. Arctornis phrika.
    FW with a discal spot & a sinuous postmedial fascia.
    Frons & palps dull rufous brown & legs patched the same.

    There is much confusion with Arctornis poecilonipha in the past.
    The general description seem to fit both.

    Arctornis poecilonipha.
    FW with a rather larger irregular discal spot.
    Frons with a dark brown patch & palps much paler; legs marked with dark brown.
    FW more densely laid with opalescent scales, postmedial angled at 90% to costa at upper third.
    P. Malaysia.

    3. Arctornis camurisquama.
    A distinctive white arcuate postmedial band that falls short of costa & dorsum. Costa more reflective.
