Cyana is correct, but it is not Selangorica, but Cyana puella, the female. The markings are generally broader and more curved for Selangorica. Besides, the markings behind the head are different. It is very hard to find trustable IDs of Cyana. Many are not correct IDed, however, it is also a very tricky genus anyway. My link is from Ryan Brooks, very trustable: http://insecta.pro/taxonomy/85669 http://v3.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=541342 https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1570767835 Here are some Selangorica: http://www.jpmoth.org/~dmoth/Digital_Moths_of_Asia/90_NOCTUOIDEA/02_EREBIDAE/02_ARCTIINAE/04_Lithosiinae/21_Cyana/Cyana%20selangorica/Cyana%20selangorica_070415214.jpg https://www.flickr.com/photos/29954808@N00/30346995527 http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-7/nudariini/nudariini_1_7.php I am not even sure, if Selangorica is found in India.
