Callopistria callopistrioides (Moore, 1881). Note: HW was yellow with brown border. Separation from thalpophiloides is suspect, but this has more white on FW.

Similar species: Callopistria thalpophiloides
Both this (thalpophiloides) and the next species (callopistrioides) have rich dark brown forewings; the hindwings are bordered a similar colour but have the basal half dull yellow. The next species has the pale forewing markings more prominent and more clearly defined; the submarginal white flecks are much more extensive in callopistrioides; in thalpophiloides they are restricted to the anterior sixth of the wing.
