    Correction Most likely Episteme maculatrix.

    Below description based mis- identifed images.
    Episteme nipalensis.
    Antemedial & postmedial spots of similar proportions.
    Postmedial spots without darkened veins.
    HW bright orange/red.
    Abdomen broadly banded black.

    Similar but confused with it.

    Possibly these below may be examples of E. maculatrix different ssp.
    FW only the costal postmedial spot with the veins black.
    Abdomen with narrower black bandings.

    GBIF have no examples of these as E. nipalensis.

    E. vetula.
    FW postmedial & antemedial generally narrow & as yellow bands.
