Notes (optional)
JD : aurifera is now raised to species level. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11121917/pdf/insects-15-00359.pdf
Needs to be updated on MOI.
However, not sure this is aurifera, could be confusa, though the costa is not clearly pale.
SS: I would go with confusa on account of the under.
Similar species: Rhagastis aurifera (Butler, 1875).
Wings broader than in Rhagastis aurifera (Butler, 1875). Forewing as in Rhagastis aurifera, but darker in tint, costal margin pale; fringe of hind margin white in middle, continuous with the pinkish-white, longitudinal, subbasal line indicated in Rhagastis aurifera and other species. Ref
