Mataeomera obliquisigna (Hampson, 1894)
1) OD : Metachrostis obliquisigna , FBI, Moths of India, Vol 2 pg 326 #2070
2) A new species of Mataeomera, formerly misidentified as M. obliquisigna (Hampson, 1894) from Japan; Sohn & Eda – Fig 1 (type specimen) - https://zenodo.org/record/5271297#.YmGIm2jP33g & text at

Mataeomera yoshimotoi Sohn & Eda, 2013 – extralimital (Japan), misidentified as obliquisigna in earlier literature, including here - http://www.jpmoth.org/Noctuidae/Acontiinae+Eustrotiinae/Mataeomera_obliquisigna.html
& here - http://kanon1001.web.fc2.com/data_musi/ga/ya_ga/AK_beni_koyaga/haiiro_koyaga/haiiro_koyaga.html
SS: Very variable species with limited description. Image matches with the on JPmoth, but not a good match to the holotype (which is a poor quality image, itself). Still provisionally agree with ID.
List of Mataeomera Butler, 1886 known from India.
Mataeomera obliquisigna (Hampson, 1894). India: Himachal Pradesh (TL: Dharmsala).
Mataeomera semialba (Hampson, 1902). India: Sikkim; Myanmar.
RS: Agree with Mataeomera obliquisigna
@Jonathan- the Text link that you shared does not work. Also, the DOI cannot be fetched through the journal website. I would rather add this link https://mapress.com/zootaxa/2013/f/z03745p500f.pdf
This is a correspondence but still gives some information in text.
