SS: Sypnoides curvilinea Moore, 1867/Sypnoides rubrifascia Moore, 1883, probably the former.
OD: Sypna curvilinea Moore, 1867. Proc. Zool. Soc. London. Pg. 69, Pl. vi, fig. 4. Female. Text at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/93424#page/91/mode/1up. Plate at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/93424#page/1133/mode/1up. Need male description.
FBI, Hampson, Vol. 2, pg. 449, # 2381. Good match to description with the discrepancy that the FW disc is half whitish towards the inner margin, as shown in Seitz, Vol. 3, pg 365, pl. 67c. Hampson mentions a form rubrifascia in which the white is absent. in Seitz, Vol. 3, pg 365, pl. 67d. Lepindex lists rubrifascia as valid species. Funet also lists rubrifascia as a valid species.
Sypna rubrifascia Moore, 1883. Proc. Zool. Soc. London. Pg. 24. Text at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/96834#page/66/mode/1up
Poole, 1989. Lepidopterorum catalogus (New Series) 118: Noctuidae Lepid. cat. (n.s.) 118.
Lepindex lists as Supersypnoides curvilinea. However, its own notes state it is shifted to Sypniodes.
Similar species: Sypnoides chinensis (extralimital), which is found in Thailand and China. However, in chinensis, the antemedial band is more angled, and the black band apex fw apex is very narrow.
