Similiar species:
Plutodes flavescens: based on Bold Systems, discigera has less wavy lines compared to flavescens which is now a separate species. From Bold Systems, the distance between the basal rufous patch and the outer rounded patch is mutch greater in discugera, much less in flavescens. Seen at http://v3.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=155677. P. flavescens known from NE Himalaya also. Roger Kendrick PhD plates at Plate 23/28.
Differences with flavescens nicely summed up at http://archive.org/stream/annalsmagazineof561880lond%23page/223/mode/1up" [accessed 25 January 2018] >http://archive.org/stream/annalsmagazineof561880lond#page/223/mode/1up [accessed 25 January 2018]
Plutodes cyclaria: rufous patches larger, much closer to outer patch on HW. Ref Bold Systems. Seen at http://v3.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=96879
