Ovipennis joshii / Barsipennis joshii
GI: May be Ovipennis joshii (Volynkin & Cerný, 2019) I am not hundred percent sure as there are minor differences in the descriptions given in the following two papers. I think genitalia may be needed to confirm it.

SS: Barsipennis joshii (Volynkin & Cerný, 2019) for me. Adding my detailed notes, and also uploading a bunch of images.

Similar species: Barsipennis phaeodonta (Hampson, 1911)
Externally, B. joshii (Figs 5–8) can be distinguished from its closest relatives B. phaeodonta
(Figs 1–4) and B. meyi (Figs 9, 10) by its thicker subbasal strokes, slightly thicker antemedial line, slightly thicker medial line being less curved and well separated from the antemedial line, dot-shaped discal spot (that is more or less comma-shaped in B. phaeodonta and B. meyi), more sharp postmedial line with shorter dens (in B. phaeodonta and B. meyi that is diffuse and has longer dens), larger subterminal spots on veins, and weaker dark suffusion on hindwing.
