Doubtful IDs from Nepal

[Psyche]

I presumed you are certain that 1a & 1b are the same insect since the colour difference is quite marked.

I will go thru the Caltoris with two FW cellspots again.

C. bromus ;FW UnF usually a spot 1b (Evans state always but ths is not true.)
UnH dark brown overlaid with ochreous scales; Female may have spots in space 2 & 3.

Male showing no UpF spot 1b but a UnF spot 1b.

1st male Taiwan with upper FW cellspot missing. (Note Taiwan have only two species C. bromus & cahira. Correction: a 3rd C. ranrunna is known.))
