Similar to Bertula figurata (EL)

JD : agree with Bertula figurata (Hampson, 1898) based on range only. From the images B. incisa is very similar, not sure how you can confidently differentiate them
SS: I agree. In any case, Hampson, 1898 takes precedence over Wileman, 1915, if they are synonyms.

GI: The Entomologist description says that B incisa is near B figurata. The Taiwan lep website has images of the genitalia of B incisa. Without the genitalia for comparison I don't agree that this can be confirmed as B figurata.
