Isaac, hate to be a wet blanket, but according to Evans, ruficornis area Plotz
(= fusca Hampson) hindwing cilia chequered; above more or less clothed dull
dark yellow hairs, leaving on UPH large dark spot end cell and discal row. (S.
India to Bengal); ruficornis ruficornis Mabille from Java is "uniform. Upf 2
spots or conjoined dashes on costa, above and separate from cell spot; usually
spots in 4,5.
I still think Krishna's specimen is somewhere nearer C. putra.
