Remarks

Psilogramma discistriga (Walker, 1856) was reclassified as a distinct species by Eitschberger (2010) following its earlier consolidation with P. menephron by Rothschild & Jordan (1903) and P. melanomera (Butler, 1875b) by Eitschberger (2001). Consequently, the records attributing P. menephron to India are considered erroneous, now recognized as misidentifications of P. discistriga.
