Diagnosis.Forewing length is 14–15 mmin males and 15–17 mmin females. The forewing pattern of the species is similar to that of the B. nubifasciaspecies-group, but the forewing ground color is bright pale yellow, the spots are reduced and the subterminal shadow is presented as a narrow diffuse curved band. The male genitalia is very similar to B. umbrifera, but differ by the broader distal costal process with a more arcuate dorsal margin, the basally broader claw-like ventral costal process directed ventrally (whereas in B. umbriferathe ventral costal process is almost straight and directed apically), and the larger cornuti in the carinal plate and the ventral subbasal diverticulum. The female genitalia differ clearly from those of two other species of the B. simplifasciaspeciesgroup and is more similar to those of the B. nubifasciaspecies-group, from which it differs mainly by the antevaginal plate shape (see the diagnosis of the species-group).
Distribution. Northernand eastern India(north of West Bengal, Sikkim), Bhutan, China( Tibet). Note.The species was treated as a synonym of B. nubifasciaby Hampson (1900).
