SS: Cyana khasiana Hampson, 1897
Cyana khasiana Hampson, 1897, Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society 11: 296 (Type locality: [NE India, Meghalaya, Khasi Hills] “Khásis”).
Chionaema hampsoni Kaleka, 2003, Entomon, 28 (4): 380, figs 1–7 (Type locality: “Arunachal Pradesh: west Kameng Dis- trict, Bombdila, 2430 m”),
Singh et al, 2020. Review of Cyana. pg. 43, pFig. 115.
Diagnosis: The red lined form is similar to C. signa and C. adita, but can be distinguished by their slightly broader forewings with broader transverse lines and larger black spots; in addition, females of C. khasiana have the postmedial line curved inwards at costa, whereas in C. signa and C. adita that is curved outwards.
