Notes (optional)
Possible taxa; Ophiusa triphaenoides (Walker, 1858)

SS: I have struggled to identify Ophiusa triphaenoides (Walker, 1858) reliably.
The following are similar species.
Ophiusa olista (Swinhoe, 1893)
Ophiusa triphaenoides (Walker, 1858)
Ophiusa indistincta (Moore, 1882)
Based on my own notes from various sources, I do believe this is Ophiusa indistincta (Moore, 1882), rather than Ophiusa triphaenoides (Walker, 1858), but cannot be absolutely certain. Images on iNaturalist identified as Ophiusa triphaenoides may also be Ophiusa indistincta (Moore, 1882).
SS: Publishing this at spp. level.
