Anadiasa punctifascia ( Walker, 1855)

( Figs 7–9 )

[1B]— 9♂♂; [1C]— 12♂♂; [3C]— 2♂♂; [3D]— 2♂♂; [3E]— 7♂♂; [4E]— 3♂♂; [4F]— 4♂♂; [4G]— 2♂♂; [4H]— 3♂♂; [4I]— 3♂♂; [4J]— 3♂♂ 1♀; [4K]— 2♂♂; [4L]— 1♂.

Remarks. Although the three barcoded specimens from MSR fall into two BINs (BOLD:AFG5578 and BOLD: AAL9749), male genital dissections seemed to confirm that this species is phenotypically variable with some specimens displaying uniform forewing colouration ( Fig. 7 ) while others have well-defined dark fasciae ( Fig. 8 ).
