Notes (optional)
Idaea egenaria (Walker, 1861)
See notes in observation no 273057
SS: Frankly, based on images on iNaturalist and the plate in Seitz, I would agree that this is egenaria and not gemmaria. However, Prout, in Sietz, himself mentions that gemmaria is close to egenaria, and perhaps a form. I find that the straight band on FW in egenaria, (all images of gemmaria on MOI have broad band on FW, curved inwardly) aureole on FW absent or obsolete in egenaria (more often present in gemmaria, see all images on MOI). Given, this I would identify both species provisionally, and publish the egenaria from NE India.
