Photo Gallery and Species Biology
Gandhara vietnamica Dubatolov, 2012: The species has a somewhat broader yellow costal stripe of the forewing than the congeners of the G. typica species-group and is very similar to extralimital G. conica and G. jieenchenae from which, however, differs in the grey forewing cilia.
Collita serva (Walker, 1854): The forewing of Gandhara is broader and its upperside has a cluster of androconial scales in the distal section of the cell in males, which is absent in Collita .
