Bellura unidentified species - No Common Name

No image for this species.
Taxonomy
Superfamily: Noctuoidea Family: NoctuidaeSubfamily: NoctuinaeTribe: ArzaminiP3 Number: 0.00 MONA Number: 9526.01
Species Status: Genetic barcoding shows little difference between obliqua, densa, anoa, and brehmei. These species vary greatly in color and pattern with strong overlap between species; names are frequently intermixed in the clusters formed by barcoding. The larvae are supposedly separated by their host plants but otherwise the taxonomic distinctiveness of the members of this group is unclear. Where specimens conform to the descriptions given by Forbes and others, we assign them to the traditional species. More problematic individuals are placed in the generic account.
