This is very similar to this IDed as Eois spp.
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/183460970
Note similar white antennae, white collar, body & ground pattern.

Other spp of Eois for comparison.

The ID of no. 28 was quite difficult in the literature. However you solve the puzzle. Thank you so much.
It indeed is Rhesala imparata.

GBIF seems to be a very good platform for a preliminary survey.

The following are requested for confirmation and ids (if possible).

29. Caldubotys caldusalis?

35. Dysaethria spp? This one has more marbling markings than Dysaethria quadricaudata i feel.

36. The closest match is Urola nivalis which is not found in India. However the FW spots are missing or perhaps hidden on the wings??

A separate species/subspecies of Urola?

"GBIF seems to be a very good platform for a preliminary survey."

Care must be taken as GBIF offers many observations from iNaturalist.
There are many misidentifications.
However the location given is very useful.
eg correct examples of R. imparata can be obtained from Taiwan as R. moestalis is absent there.

Berta annulifera (= bearing rings).
FW postmedial finely irregular & continuous.
Discal spots made of small rings.
https://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-9...trini_47_2.php
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/56738892

The wide empty green space between the postmedial & antemedial is often confused with the description of B albiplaga.
In B. albiplaga the FW postmedial is mostly spot-like although continuous.
