Notes (optional)
Heterophleps bicommata (Warren, 1893) or Heterophleps ocyptaria (Swinhoe, 1893). Not able to reliably separate these. Going by OD and Hampson, this would be Heterophleps bicommata (Warren, 1893).

The ID's on iNaturalist; some of them are Heterophleps bicommata
Heterophleps Herrich-Schäffer, [1854] species known from India.
Heterophleps bicommata (Warren, 1893). India: Sikkim (TL).
Heterophleps ocyptaria (Swinhoe, 1893). India: Meghalaya (TL: Khasi Hills), West Bengal.
GI: From the description given in the OD and Hampson and seeing the image on iNaturalist, this is Heterophleps ocyptaria (Swinhoe, 1893) and not H bicommata
The image given in Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1893 (2): pl. 32, f. 1; does not match the image uploaded. The mrkings bear greater affinity to ocyptaria than bicommata.
