OD: Olulis megalopis Hampson, 1926, Descr. Gen. Spec. Noctuinae, p. 479.https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/50904130#page/489/mode/1up
MOT, Vol. 3. pl. 16/46.
The MOB image is not very clear, but this individual markings don't match the plate in MOT. In fact, none of the iNat images match the plate in MOT, so I am reluctantto state that this is Olulis. Moreover, Holloway describes Olulis as " The species resembles a very small Tamba, the wings a medium rosy brown, slightly fasciated, the forewings with a paler fawn basal area and large reniform, the latter with a more diffuse paler area immediately distal to it.". I cannot access OD as BHL is down. I would suggest we stick to Tamba spp.
