Carige zalska Swinhoe, 1894; Trans. ent. Soc. Lond. 1894 (1): 185; TL: Khasia Hills, Cherrapunji. Text at https://archive.org/details/transactionsofen1894roya/page/185/mode/1up?view=theater
Hampson, FBI, Vol. 3, pg. 339, Fig. 169.
Numerous similar extralimital species. See at https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1342131-Goniopteroloba-sinuosa
GI: Whereas most of the marking described for Carige zalaska in the OD matches, the "costa marked with black and pale spots, crossed by an inner indistinct and incomplete brownish band," as well as parts of the description associated with the fiscal band are not similar.Image in Hampson does not match with this but the image and it is that of a male, this is probably a female. The description is brief but matches except there is not clear description or mention of the anti median band with the orange patch iNat images match but none of them are research grade. Its most likely Goniopteroloba zalska (Swinhoe, 1894) but I would recommend going with a cf
