Should have mentioned that HW is pale white
Nola pumila Snellen, 1875. India (Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya, Maharashtra, Nilgiris).
MON Part 5, pg. for Nola pumila
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/360138-Nola-pumila
Similar species: Nola nepalpumila MON Part 5, pg. 89, Pl. 140/6. Not yet reported from India.
JD : Nola nepalpumila is reported from India, refer MON 5 pg 89.
That taxon is further mentioned as synonymised with Nola fuscantea (van Eecke, 1920), by Joshi et al - An updated Checklist of subfamily Nolinae from India .
Considering the deeper chestnut colour here, I think we need to also look at Nola fuscantea - http://v3.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=1143645
Another similar but paler species is Nola ceylonica Hampson, 1893
SS: Publishing as Nola spp.
