Petavia attenuata
Notes (optional)
I suspect that this may be Petavia attenuata (Moore, 1879)
Datanga attenuata Moore, 1879, in Hewitson & Moore, Desc. new Indian lepid. Insects Colln. late Mr. Atkinson: 21
FBI, Hampson, Vol. 1, pg. 324, # 693. Separated from Callidula erycinoides (Petavia erycinoides) in the forewing band being red up and reddish-yellow un and narrowing towards the outer margin. In erycinoides, the band is yellow. cf788 and cf789 are definitely Callidula attenuata. This one; less certain. Possibly cd417 is also Callidula attenuata.

UK: This observation, cd417, cf788 and cf789 are likely to be Petavia attenuata. The reddish yellow band on the underside is evident in the observations.
