Similar species from Indian region –
Sasunaga longiplaga Warren, 1912 – Nepal, NE India
Sasunaga interrupta Warren, 1912 – Nepal
RS: Agree with ID.
SS: Seems very variable species. I will agree with ID as this seems to be be the only species found in the Indian Subregion; the other two seem more like Himalayan range bound.
