Mustilizans hepatica
Notes (optional)
SS: This seems to be closer to Mustilizans zolotuhini Chandra, Singh & Ranjan, 2019.
Morphologically, the new species is closely similar to M. hepatica (Moore) but is distinct due to the
following attributes: (1) forewing with antemedial line not forming a dark spot on costa in the new species (Fig. 5) (antemedial line ending with dark spot on costa in M. hepatica, Fig. 1); (2) postmedial fascia angled several times inthe new species, postmedial fascia almost straight in M. hepatica (Chandra et al 2019).
