Psyra similaria Moore, 1868 View in CoL , Proc. zool. Soc. Lond., 1867 (3): 659, pl. 33, fig. 1. Syntype (s) 3, India: Darjeeling (BMNH).

Material examined. INDIA ( BMNH): 13 (Syntype), Darjeeling, Moore Coll., 96-106. NEPAL ( BMNH): 1Ƥ, C. Nepal, Gandaki Parbat Dist. Chorapani Deolari, 2800 m, 15.X.1981, coll. M. Owada, Inoue Coll., BM 1992-71, BMNH (E) #1008386. CHINA: Tibet ( IZCAS): 1Ƥ, Zham, Kouan, 26.IX.1984, coll. Li Aihua (slide no. Geom- 2022).

Diagnosis. P. similaria is distinctive in having a clear medial line and submarginal band on the hindwing. It also shares a simple forewing pattern with P. fulvaria , having much smaller black patches than in other species. The male genitalia are very close to those of P. boarmiata , but the aedeagus has two bundles of spines as to P. szetschwana , P. dsagara and P. angulifera , while P. boarmiata lacks the spinose bundle. The female genitalia are close to those of P. conferta and P. m o d e r a t a, while the ductus bursae is much narrower than in P. conferta ; the antrum is shorter than in P. m od e r a ta; and the spines of the discoid signum are shorter than in P. conferta .

Distribution. China (Tibet), India, Nepal.
