Moth Taxon Search
Nygmiini-genera spp.
Notes (optional)
GI: This is most likely Somena scintillans, but Orvasca subnotata also is similar looking. The id is best confirmed through genitalia dissection
Hence identified only upto the tribe level.
RPS: The silver/white lines on the lines are also not visible here, but that is present in other published observations. I think the apical yellow spot (out of the three) is a reliable character. Extends up the costa in S. scintillans and is restricted to a prominent, smaller yellow patch in O. subnotata.
Although here, I can't say for sure
