Pyralis princeps Butler, 1889, lllust. typical Specimens Lepid. Heterocera Colin Br. Mus. 7: 91, pl. 134, fig. 12. Text at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/46936508#page/101/mode/1up. Plate at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/46936568#page/161/mode/1up
Pyralis regalis princeps Butler, 1889. MON Part 5, pg. 110, Pl. 143/3 as a subspecies of regalis.
Wikstrom, B., Huemer, P., Mutanen, M., Tyllinen, J. and Kaila, L., 2020. Pyralis cardinalis, a charismatic new species related to P. regalis [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775, first recognized in Finland (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae). Nota lepidopterologica.
Singh et al 2022, A catalogue of Indian Pyraloidea (Lepidoptera) lists Pyralis regalis Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775 and Pyralis princeps butler, 1889 as valid taxon, both found in NW Himalayas.
Pyralis cardinalis Kaila, Huemer, Mutanen, Tyllinen & Wikström, 2020 is a similar extralimital species of the Pyralis regalis complex.
Apex of forewing not elongate; area near apex of forewing dark purplish grey, not otherwise different from ground colour (Figs 3, 8–11): P. regalis. Fig. 8-11.
Apex of forewing elongate; area near apex of forewing orange-brown: P. princeps. Fig. 18.

GI: The OD where Butler in 1889 has described it as P principes, the MON plate clearly resembles the uploaded species which in the 2022 publication by Singh et al accepted as separate from P regalis, I agree with the id Pyralis princeps Butler, 1889
JD : agree with ID. See remarks in previous observation.
