Numerous records from NE India on iNat.
JD : agree with ID. Though the OD is very descriptive (including so many shades of brown!). there is no mention of the concave anterior margin to the FW with the dark marginal lunules. However this matches very well with the image in the OD Pl 10 fig 21 - https://archive.org/details/novitateszoologi39lond/page/n198/mode/1up?q=diaphora
