Photo Gallery and Species Biology
Nagadeba cinerea Hampson, 1895 is a very similar species with descriptions inadequate to separate from indecoralis reliably. Based on museum specimen images at https://oumnh.ox.ac.uk/collections-online#/item/oum-catalogue-388743.
Based on these images, these individuals do not seem like N. cinerea, but N. indecoralis. All the images of N. cinerea are grey brown with no red-brown. Many of the cinerea images here have a pale medial band, that indecoralis lacks.
