JD : The differences mentioned between mysalis & hypenalis on MOB are not always easily comparable.
The image of mysalis in Tinea does not have a clear double discal spot
The differences between jutalis, mysalis & hypenalis need to be described for easy identification.
There are many observations on MOI published under Hadennia spp., & these may also then need to be further classified.
SS: Separating jutalis, mysalis & hypenalis
Key features separating the three species, based on OD, Owada (1992) and Holloway (2008).
Hadennia jutalis: the only species with the sub-marginal line on both wings have pale testaceous streaks.
Hadennia hypenalis: similar to mysalis, from which it is separated by less prominent mauve oblique band on forewing. White submarginal fascia faintly evident on fore- and hindwings is hardly visible.
Hadennia mysalis more prominent mauve oblique band on forewing and there is an irregular, punctate, white submarginal fascia faintly evident on fore- and hindwings, with the brown ground distal to it slightly paler; this submarginal is further from the margin on the hindwings.
Based on this, I would once again agree that this is mysalis, provisionally.
ppw842 and ppw843, already uploaded, is incorrectly mentioned as jutalis. This should be Hadennia hypenalis.
pnu645, pnu646 and pnu 647, as well as pre185 is also incorrectly identified. Both these species are Hadennia maculifascia (Hampson, 1895). I am also uploading some more individuals that are jutalis, with the sub-marginal line on both wings have pale testaceous streaks.
