    Unhappy

    It should be C. leucocera. Correction: More likely C. maculicornis.;UpH is is unmarked. Correction 2: Female C. leucocera.

    Following Evans' key.

    1a UpF central spots/band.
    1b Spots/band white.
    12a (1c) No pale/or dark spot in space 1b basally.
    12b ( 19a) FW cellspot midway between apex & base.
    15a (12c) Antennal shaft nit chequered.
    15b (17a) Wings not produced FW dorsum > termen.
    16 (15) Abdomen unstriped. UpF cellspot generally continued above radius.
    C. leucocera.

    TL Seow: Cheers.

    PS. Key line 19a is inprecise . UpF cellspot distinctly nearer apex than base. UpH plain or obscurely marked.
    19b UpF cellspot continued to costa.

    This leads to C. munda & maculicornis.
    Images of both species do not show UpF cellspot nearer the apex.

    C. maculicornis (NE India) is a possibility.
