KS039 Clostera costicomma (Hampson, [1893])

Notodontidae, Pygaerinae - Wingspan: 25mm.

A single specimen came to our trap during our stay. My thanks to Ryan for coming up with this ID. It has been difficult to verify it, as there doesn't appear to be any images on the web (that I've found), and the only short description available is for a species which seems to have been revised a number of times.

N.B. The illustration here has a small amount of the fore-wing detail obliterated due to light reflection when photographed. The orange-brown of the fore-wing continues, whilst merging with darker shading, along the anterior edge to the wing root. Presumably, this is a fairly dark version of this species.
