Remarks. Stictoptera ochrota Hampson was originally mentioned from Shimla which was under Punjab province at that time. The localities such as Dalhousie, Kullu, Shimla etc. earlier considered in Punjab are now part of Himachal Pradesh state in India. Further, Stictoptera vitiensis Hampson, 1912: 159 from Fiji is probably a race of S. macromma as per Holloway (1985). It was mentioned in the list from Indian Himalaya by Sanyal et al. (2018). Further, confirmation of S. vitiensis from India is needed and not included in this list.
