Nadagara inordinata Walker, 1862
Nadagara inordinata Walker, 1862; List Spec. Lepid. Insects Colln Br. Mus. 24: 1094. TL: Sarawak, Borneo. Text at https://archive.org/details/listofspecimenso2224brit/page/1094/mode/1up?view=theater

MOB, Vol. 11, Part 2, Geometridae, Ennominae, Pg. 94, Pl. 6/1.
GI: Agree with the ID Nadagara inordinata Walker, 1862; although the OD gives a good colour description, the image in the other two sources are grey and not ochreous
JD : agree with ID, but Nadagara vigaia Walker, 1862 is also very similar. Need too check how to differentiate these.

Check the notes (Addendum) in this article - http://hbs.bpbmwebdata.org/pi/pdf/9(1)-105.pdf
GI : So I did JD and I think we need to explore this some more? Although by distribution this could still go as N inordinata as the author has only raised an issue not confirmed anything. Tricky.
SS: FBI, Hampson, Vol. 3, pg. 194, # 3216.
Differs from vigaia in the ground colour of the wings being more variegated with white; the oblique line with the chestnut inside and the black irroration beyond it more prominent and
with traces of a line beyond it, becoming well marked on hindwing.
Additional notes
Inoue, H., 1967. Genus Nadagara from Japan and Taiwan (Lepidoptera-Geometridae. Pacific Insects, 9(1), pp.105-110. States Nadagara inordinata is a form of Nadagara vigaia.
Forum Herbulot treats Nadagara inordinata as a synonym of Nadagara vigaia, so this is what we will go forward with.
JD; we should go with the synonymy as mentioned in Forum Herbulot
