Rayhan, Md Jahir, Bucsek, Karol & Jahan, Sayema, 2024, Schistophleps kendricki sp. nov. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae) from Bangladesh with an overview of the genus, Zootaxa 5481 (1), pp. 66-78 : 72

ii. fulvia species group ( Figs 21–22 )

Diagnosis: Species within this group are very similar to those of the preceding one but differs in the lack of distinct black spots inside and end of discal cell, instead are having pale or brown faint larger dots. Some species may have single black spot only inside the discal cell. Almost all of these species shares very similar wing patterns and can reliably be distinguished on the basis of male genitalia features.

Distribution: Largely in the Malay Archipelago.
