OD in Tams (1928) New species of Lepidoptera Heterocera in the collections of the British Museum (Natural History).

Numenes flagrans Tams, 1928. New species of lepidoptera heterocera in the collections of the British Museum (Natural History). Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (10) 1 (5) : 624-633. I do not have access to the OD.
Kishida (2020) Lymantriidae // Moths of Laos. Part I. pg. 118: pl 54, Fig. 5 (illustration and notes on male). The illustration in this shows the HW as yellow (versus bright orange in the live individual) and extent of black on FW is much more in this individual, compared to the specimen by Kishida. Also, as this species does not display sexual dimorphism, we have no idea which sex it is.
SS: I have reviewed the OD, sent by Sankararaman and agree with the the ID, where it mentions that the HW is "orange to orange chrome". Hence, agree with ID.
GI: Can the OD be shared so review is possible? As also urls for some of the references quoted?

GI: Agree with ID
