Note: Britha biguttata female and Britha pactalis are doubtfully separated from images alone.Britha biguttata Walker, [1866] is much darker, while pactalis is much paler. Male guttata has traces of the longitudinal pale patch at one third from the dorsum in the centre of the wing that characterises biguttata. Male biguttata has pectinnate antennae, while female lacks pectinations.
