Doubtful IDs from Nepal

[Psyche]

Thank you, sir. C. bromus is new to Nepal. I'm confused about P. guttata, I thought it almost never had HW spot 6 while you said "almost always with a spot 6."

Oops. You are right P. guttata almost never with a HW spot 6.

That means 1 & 2 could be either P. guttata with a HW spot 6 (very rare) or P. bada with cellspots ( one or two).

The aapearance with the FW spots widely spaced is that of P. bada .
Although there is no mention of P. bada with two cellspot it is always possible as an aberration.

P. guttata with two cellspots ,the lower one almost obsolete, spots close together, ; HW without spot 6.
