Trichopterigia spp.
Notes (optional)
SS: This species is identified as Trichopterigia sanguinipunctata (Warren, 1893) on iNaturalist but I am not at all convinced this ID is correct. I would like to stick to genus level ID.
Amathia sanguinipunctata Warren, 1893. Proc. zool. Soc. Lond., 1893: 363, Pl. 31/17. TL: India: Sikkim, Jongri, 13000ft.Text at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/97156#page/471/mode/1up. Plate at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/111041#page/428/mode/1up. Not a good match to OD which shows ochreous costa and base of FW.

Trichopterigia sanguinipunctata Warren; Hampson, 1895, Fauna Br. India Moths 3: 404, places pulcherrima as synonym.
Trichopterigia pulcherrima exsanguis Prout, 1958, Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist. (Ent.), 6: 455. TL: Philippines, Luzon. Text at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/2258809#page/491/mode/1up

The discrepancies that I can note is that the basal area is mentioned as being ochreous which is also seen in the MON plate and mentioned in Hampson and OD.
