Luxiaria tephrosaria Moore
Acidalia tephrosaria Moore, 1867, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond., 1867: 643.
Luxiaria tephrosaria? ichnaea Prout, 1932, J. fed. Malay States Mus., 17: 88.
Diagnosis
See diagnosis of L. emphatica. The male genitalia of the two species are very similar with the subapical flange of the ventral valve arm relatively large, but this arm is more robust in **tephrosaria. The cornutus of the aedeagus vesica is much larger in tephrosaria and the accessory scobination more conspicuous. The aedeagus has a distally directed spine subapically, more or less adpressed to the shaft.
