Bertula erectilinea Swinhoe

Bleptina erectilinea Swinhoe, 1902, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (7), 10: 501.

Diagnosis

This species is represented by females only. The facies is very similar to that of micealis, but the distal fasciation of the forewing is straighter and the moth is significantly larger. The colour is darker, browner (the specimens, as with so many from the Swinhoe collection, may be discoloured), and the fasciation of the hindwing underside is stronger. The genitalia have the ductus bursae relatively longer and the corpus bursae shorter and broader than in micealis
