Lepindex lists as syn of undulata.
Seitz, A. (Ed.). Macro Lep. World. Vol. 11, pg. 296, Pl. 27h.
Listed erroneously as Eulocastra excisa (Butler, 1889). Seitz descriptions for undulata and excisa are a little confusing, but the OD for Eulocastra excisa, its type locality of Pune and other images on line confirm that this is Eulocastra excisa (Swinhoe, 1885).
JD : agree with ID. this should be a female. I am posting an image of the male that has the discal area of the same colour (dark grey) as the central area. Descriptions are mentioned by Butler - https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/180012#page/72/mode/1up
