Myrioblephara idaeoides (Moore, 1888)
ssp : idaeoides
1) OD : Cleora idaeoides Moore, 1888 - Descr. New Indian lepid. Insects Colln. late Mr.Atkinson: 239 https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/26805#page/257/mode/1up
2) Ectropis idaeoides - The Sarawak Museum journal, https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/14620559#page/233/mode/1up
albipunctata was considered as a synonym
3) Boarmia idaeoides - Moths of India, Vol 3 pg 259 #3387 - https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/67892#page/293/mode/1up simplaria was also considered as a synonym

5) Moths of Nepal Part 2, Pl 36/20
6) https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/868506-Myrioblephara-idaeoides
HW post-medial is angled centrally & close to the prominent discal mark.
Similar looking spp. –
Myrioblephara albipunctata Warren, 1893 - HW post-medial is smoothly curved rather than forming an angle centrally, with the discal mark not prominent. Moths of Nepal Part 3, Pl 75/5
Myrioblephara simplaria (Swinhoe, 1894) - the HW post-medial broadly loops around the discal mark. Moths of Nepal Part 3, Pl 75/5

M. idaeoides, simplaria & albipunctata are considered as separate spp. upon examining genitalia by Sato in MON, Part 3 pg 49-50
RPS: Agree with ID.
SS: Are all three the same individual? The third one definitely looks different. Additional references
Moths of Laos, Vol. 25. pg. 82, Pl. 28/35. M. idaeoides, simplaria & albipunctata are all shown in the plate.
Sato, R and Stüning, D., 2013. Eleven new species of the genera Ectropidia Warren and Myrioblephara Warren (Geometridae, Ennominae) from Sulawesi and Maluku in Indonesia, with additional notes on species described earlier. Tinea, 22(3), pp.190-213.
Still examining how best to separate M. idaeoides, simplaria & albipunctata.
JD : yes, the 3rd one is a different individual, & have removed the image.
