Eustroma elista Prout, 1940
Prout, 1958. Pl. 30, row H in Seitz, 1940.
Eustroma elista Prout, 1940. In Seitz, A. (Ed.), 1940. Macro. Lep. World. Vol. 12, pg. 302, Pl. 30h. TL: Sikkim (Tonglo). Text not available, but good match to image.
Choi, S.W., 2001. Phylogeny of Eulithis Hübner and related genera (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), with an implication of wing pattern evolution. American Museum Novitates, 2001(3318), pp.1-37. Lists elistum group as under:
elistum group
aurigenum (Butler, 1880) (aurigena)
chalcopterum (Hampson, 1895) (chalcoptera)
elistum Prout, 1940 (elista)
Similar species as listed above. Eustroma aurigena is already on the website and can be ruled out based on the shape of medial dark band.
Eustroma chalcoptera (Hampson, 1895)
Cidaria chalcoptera Hampson, 1895. FBI, Vol. 3, pg. 360. TL: Sikkim, 10000ft.
Seitz, A. (Ed.), 1940. Macro. Lep. World. Vol. 4, Supl, pg. 106, Pl. 10f.
Seitz, A. (Ed.), 1940. Macro. Lep. World. Vol. 12, pg. 308,
is quite different from elista and aurigena.
GI: Lively colourful moth. Agree with ID Eustroma elista Prout, 1940
