László, G. M. & M. Sterling. 2020. Illustrated checklist of Nolinae (Lepidoptera, Nolidae) of Hong Kong, China, with description of two new species. Ecologica Montenegrina 33: 35-58. Fig. 1-2.
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1115037-Casminola-johannstumpfi
MOT, Vol. 3, Part 2, Pl. 22/20. Described from Nepal.
This would be a new records for India, so would go with a cf without a specimen to confirm.
Similar species are C. spinosa and C. seminigra. Details in László, G.M., Ronkay, G., Witt, T.J. 2010. Contribution to the Nolinae (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) fauna of North Thailand. Esperiana Buchreihe zur Entomologie 15: 7–126. Little studied genus in India. Casminola chionobasis (Hampson, 1901) is the only species listed from India in the Nolinae checklist (Joshi et al 2019). Casminola pulchella is reported in Moths of Goa, 2021. Image 181. However, ID needs confirmation as this seems close to Calonola ectrocta (Sri Lanka) or Calonola argyria (India).
