OD for Glyphodes prothymalis Swinhoe , C. S. (1892). New species of Heterocera from the Khasia Hills. Part II. The Transactions of the Entomological Society of London. Pp. 1-20.Pg 19, Pl 1, Fig 15.
https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/14679431#page/55/mode/1up.
Descrepancy with OD: FW cilia is black; not white as in OD.
Hampson Vol 4, pg 359, # 5051 for prothymalis

Glyphodes orbiferalis OD at Hampson Vol 4, pg 360, # 5052 for G. orbiferalis. Also at MON 142/17, which I believe is incorrectly identified and seems to be Glyphodes prothymalis.
Per Hampson, Glyphodes orbiferalis differs from prothymalis as below
FW being shorter and broader and less produced at apex; triangular hyaline patch is larger; no white discocellular line; post-medial patch larger and rounded. HW with marginal band even throughout; cilia black at base.
http://globiz.pyraloidea.org/Pages/Reports/TaxonReport.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fPages%2fReports%2fTaxonomyReport.aspx and Mathew (2006) list both species as valid.
