Refer Hampson, & other references - some forms may have medial area black, white or fuscous, other have the post-medial indistinct, or some may have a medial Y-shaped white band. Many of these forms have been earlier described as separate species; the ODs are available on Funet under glaucinans.

However, glaucinans can be distinguished as below – FW basal lines sinuous, numerous, & inwardly oblique; FW post-medial incurved beyond cell & then oblique towards inner margin; HW with numerous fine straight lines, & HW post-medial straight, oblique & arising from near apex.

This image is a good match for the form depicted on the MON plate.

Other Indian Pericyma spp. not on the MOI website – detersa & albidens are quite different
