Singh, N., Kirti, J.S., Datta, H.S., Joshi, R. and Volynkin, A.V., 2019. A review of the genus Dolgoma Moore from India, with notes on the genus taxonomy and descriptions of a new genus, four new species and a new subspecies (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae, Lithosiini). Zootaxa, 4683(1), pp.33-54. Fig. 13-16.

Morphologically, D. rectoides (illustrated by Dubatolov (2012)) is very similar to D. recta, but can be distinguished by its bright dark yellow forewing coloration (that is ochreous yellow in D. recta), and pure pale yellow hindwing (that has fuscous irroration in D. recta).
Checked the specimen and this individual has fuscous markings on the HW upper side, as in recta.

GI: Agree with ID.
Need a second review for publishing

HS: Dolgoma recta differs from rectoides by ochreous yellow forewing coloration and fuscous irroration on hindwing. Cannot check the hindwings in live specimen, the coloration of forewings looks fine. Agree with the ID, as SS has checked hindwing and it has smoky irroration along the apex and outer margin.
