Notes (optional)
SS: Pagyda botydalis (Snellen, 1880) but with a big question mark. There are numerous references to this species (with OD being in Dutch), and the differences in images/descriptions makes the identification very difficult. The description in Hampson, and some images on iNaturalist, as well as an on MicroLepidoptera FB group points to this species, but with a huge question mark. I have numerous images from Dehradun, that I will upload soon.
