Joshi, R., Pathania, P.C., Das, A., Mazumder, A., Ranjan, R. and Singh, N. 2021. Insecta : Lepidoptera : Heterocera (Moths). In: Faunal Diversity of Biogeographic Zones of India : North-East : 511-576. (Published by the Director, Zool. Surv. India, Kolkata)

Salma syrichtusalis Walker, 1859. India: Nagaland.
Decision: Agree with ID, but it might be good to compare with the the other S. India/Sri Lankan species. Cliffhanger
JD - 09/08/2022- Have checked all the OD of all the Salma spp. here, none have the blackish band from 2/3rd cost to outer margin on FW.
SS - 10/8/2022. Ok. ID agreed and accepted.
GI- 12/08/2022 - Agree
