Manoba adriennae Laszlo, G. Ronkay, Witt, 2010
Maybe a new record for the Indian region.
1) OD : Contribution to the Nolinae fauna of North Thailand, Esperiana 15: 32, Pl. 4, figs 14-15 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/268923447_Contribution_to_the_Nolinae_Lepidoptera_Noctuidae_fauna_of_North_Thailand_Plates_1-11

JR: Agree with the ID
SS: I also have this from Gobuk. Will upload. But I was not completely convinced on the separation between Manoba tesselata and Manoba adriennae. While the iNat images seem to indicate a clear difference, and when I compare images of what are probably the two species, there are clear differences that are not mentioned in the OD of adriennae. I will upload the other images, and then let's agree to upload both Manoba tesselata and Manoba adriennae.
Similar species:
Manoba tesselata (Hampson, 1896)
Diagnosis. The new species is closely related to M. tessellata. The two species have similar forewing pattern, but are easily distinguishable by the following features: the forewing ground colour of M. adriennae is more brownish, the whitish spots are less prominent, the white part of the basal area is shorter and the hindwing is significantly darker than in M. tessellata.
