Omiodes contubernalis

SS: Omiodes contubernalis (Moore, 1888). Provisional ID, but not completely convinced.
OD: Hedylepta contubernalis Moore, 1888. Descriptions of new Indian lepidopterous insects from the collection of the late Mr. W.S. Atkinson. TL: Bengal. Text at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/26805#page/226/mode/1up. OD is a good match.
FBI, Hampson, Vol. 4, pg. 387 as a synonym of Isocentris (Hyalobathra) opheltesalis. My first guess was a Hyalobathra, but there are very small differences .

On the images on iNaturalist, there are clearly multiple species; a key difference being the straight post medial line to inner margin versus sinuous line. The OD mentions that the post medial at its lower end is straight, which is so in this individual. I could not find any images of the holotype or museum specimens online.

RS: Agree with provisional ID.
SS: Id review to Anania verbascalis
