The shapes and sizes and number of the forewing spots do not match those of the Type shown in MOV, but the shapes, sizes, and number of spots is variable, and could be viewed as a match with other Amata species.

I see a dorsal pattern of spots ( eg. the invertred triamgle shape in dorsal paln view) which seems to be repeated in other moth speciments identified as this species.

I see nothing distinguishing this from several other Amata species, given the variability of the details of the forewing spots ?
