Description

Its wingspan is about 42 mm. Similar to Bastilla arcuata, differs in antemedial line being curved and with some dark diffusion inside it. Some dark suffusion can be seen instead of the dark oatch inside the postmedial line, which has two slight angles in it beyond the cell. The apical streak slight. There is an indistinct dentate submarginal line present. Hindwings with pale cilia below the apex.[2]

The larvae feed on Phyllanthus species.

gollark: There are tons of non-learning algorithms which are good for logical reasoning. The fuzzier stuff which humans do easily seems to be what's harder to implement.
gollark: Just encode data in otherwise irrelevant details of the text which tokenisers remove/ignore.
gollark: It should randomly use a generated goose or actual goose and see how often people can tell the difference.
gollark: Someone should make the command more efficient by checking the goose's direction for you, automatically.
gollark: Lightmatter, apparently.
