Acygnatha atrapex (Hampson, 1895)
Acygnatha atrapex (Hampson, 1895). India: Meghalaya (TL: Khasi Hills).
Raparna atrapex Hampson, 1895. The Fauna of British India including Ceylon and Burma. Moths 3: 25 (holotype: India, Assam, Margerita, NhM (BMNh), London).
MOT, Vol. 3, Part 2, pg. 97, pl. 11/35-36.

GI: Female? Seems so as per Hampson's description. But the black patch below the apex seen in MOT vol 3 part 2 pl11/35-36, annd iNat appear to be more prominent.Did you see black patches on the submarginal line of the wings on the under side? As description of other species too don't match, by elimination I will tend to agree that this could be Acygnatha atrapex (Hampson, 1895)
