A taxonomic and zoogeographical survey of the Meganola Dyar, 1898 generic complex based on the Palaearctic and Oriental species, László Gyula - pg 37 & Pl 2 Fig 10
SS: Manoba phaeochroa (Hampson, 1900)
SS: I have struggled to reliably separate Manoba phaeochroa (Hampson, 1900) and Meganola major (Hampson, 1891). However, this individual does not look like Meganola major as it lacks the black triangular spot at base of forewing. Uploading what is possibly Meganola major separately.
