Not too sure about those black spot on the legs of A. cygna from Taiwan.
Post 42 no 1.
I 5hink it is correct as E. maculatrix .
The Episteme can be very confusing.
It would appear E. maculatrix have the FW markings white & the HW black patch large & broad.
E. nipalensis have the FW markings yellow & the HW black patch narrower.

H. propitia is right.
TL Seow : Cheers.
I see what you mean. there are a few others with more spotted legs.

Perhaps a mixup with the unknown A. formosensis.
The other three in Taiwan.
A. l-ngrum .

A. kanazawai

A. flavicostata . The FW scales are arranged differently rather than the costa being yellow.Perhaps another mixup & this should be A. formosenssis.

This one labelled A. cygna may be the real A. flavicostata .
