    The keys of the genus Teldenia are very helpful.
    The remarks on the Nosophora species is very interesting. I also do feel there may be another species that is perhaps narrowed down as Nosophora semtritalis with the Fw lower spots typically reduced.

    Cheers

    In going through the Nosophora ,the forms with the lower postmedial spot large occur in the east ie, Hk, Taiwan ,Korea, & Japan.

    The forms with the lower postmedial spot reduced is mainly in NE India.

    Since the author below is pretty accurate with his IDs, N. semitritalis should be correct.

    Oxaenanus brontesalis.
    Widespread species from India to Sundaland.

    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.

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

    C. rivularis.

    C. maillardi
    Antemedial centrally sharply angled.
    Postmedial sinuous.
    FW submarginal spots well separated from the postmedial (submarginal less elongate sharply, variable).

    The fasciae matches well with examples of Y. suffusa.

    Krananda falcata.
    ;The species is only lightly fasciated
    The postmedial forms a darker costal patch at the apex, and three or more spots form a darken subdorsal zone.
