Chabulina tenera

Chabulina cf tenera

Three species are present in genus Chabulina from the oriental region as per Globiz Pyraloidea.
1. Chabulina albinalis (Hampson, 1912: 1263–1264); type locality: Oman [Arabia], Muscat. India, Gujarat [Bombay], Kutch

2. Chabulina onychinalis (Guenée, 1854: 205, pl. 6 fig. 9); type locality: India, Coromandel Coast

= Zebronia braurealis Walker, 1859: 971; type locality: Sri Lanka [Ceylon]. Malaysia, Borneo, Sarawak

3. Chabulina tenera (Butler, 1883: 167–168); type locality: Pakistan, Malir [Mulleer] River near Karachi [Kurrachee]; Karachi [Kurrachee]

We can rule out C. onychinalis since it is different. Dr. Koen Maes had compared the type specimens of the genus. On a personal communication regarding the identification of a similar individual, which I got from Chennai, Dr. Maes suggested that it is likely C. tenera. However, the species is not reported from S. India.

Chabulina albinalis (Hampson, 1912) needs to be checked.

BHL is down so unable to view details. Will revisit later.

Reasonable match to Chabulina tenera (Butler, 1883) OD, but no images available. Does not match Chabulina albinalis, so I am ok to provisionally publish as tenure, especially as Dr. Koen Maes had compared the type specimens of the genus.
