Thysanoidma octalis
Notes (optional)
SS: I don't think this is Thysanoidma octalis. Observation MOI-pqy218 is also similar. For me there is also confusion whether this species displays sexual dimorphism. The OD description is that of a male. The description of Hampson, FBI, vol. 4, pg. 202 is the same description, but mentions that this is a female.
Thysanoidma octalis Hampson, 1891. Ill. typical Spec. Lep. Het. Colln Br. Mus. 8: 41, 142, pl. 156, f. 19, 12; TL: Nilgiris.
