Was able to add Ardozyga catarrhacta to the CNM taxonomy this time.

OK, but is there a way of telling the difference?

The shapes of the boundaries between dark and pale areas appear to me to match A. catarrhacta exactly.

My understanding of the difference is that Lower says there is a dark streak along the forewing costa of A. mesochroa, and Meyrick says there are 5 dark spots along the forewing costa of A. catarrhacta.
