Amata trifascia Holloway comb. n
Callitomis trifascia Holloway, 1976: 1
Callitomis pseudextensa Rothschild sensu Holloway, 1976: 1.
Diagnosis
Compared to pseudextensa the male has much broader wing margins, restricting the transparent areas as illustrated. The female has narrower borders, more extensive transparent areas such that it resembles pseudextensa. It can be distinguished by whitish scales on the forewing CuA2 between the transparent patches as in the male and the more regular dark borders to both wings. The abdomen has three narrow pale yellow rings distally.
