Miltochrista undulosa
Description
5. Miltochrista undulosa (Walker, 1854):545
= Miltochrista straminea Walker, 1856: 1685
= Sesapa excurrens Walker, [1865]: 255
= Sesapa decurrens Walker, [1865]: 255
= Asura kangrana Strand, 1922: 801
Type locality: East Indies
Distribution: North West and North East Himalayas (Strand 1922), Meghalaya (Ghosh & Chaudhury 1998), Manipur (Chaudhury 2003).
Remark: The first author dissected tens of the specimens of this group and none of them could reliably be identified as M. undulosa. As per the available information, it is most probable that the Indian population of M. undulosa group belongs to M. undunoides.
