SS: Proposed ID: Diomea livida Hampson, 1902.

Four very similar species: Diomea livida, Diomea eupsema, Diomea jankowski and Diomea insulana. The last three are extralimital, though eupsema is found in Mynamar. Going by the OD of eupsema, livida has dentate discal line with white points, which is a prominent feature in livida.
Proposed ID: Diomea livida Hampson, 1902

Images of both species in the above paper. Going by this paper, and shape of costal triangular markings (no one mentions this as being diagnostic, though), then this may be eupsema.
Known Distributions
Diomea eupsema: Myanmar.
Diomea livida: Himachal Pradesh, Nepal.
I have the same species from Janbo. Uploading the same.
Suggest upload as livida with provisional ID. Probably have specimens, and maybe we should dissect.
