This thumbnail image is of what I think is a Phyllodes (genus).....from Tibet. She is 5 1/2 inches in wingspan. I have not yet received her, so if a larger image is required, I can take a pic and submit later on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance....I did search for quite sometime to ID her on the Internet, but had no luck.  |

From what I can see in the thumbnail it should be Oporphylla ustulata (Noctuidae: Catocalinae), a rather large moth. We have this species in northern Thailand as well.

I identified this from Kononenko & Pinratana (2005). Moths of Thailand Vol. Three. Noctuidae.
The species was described by Westwood, 1848 as Phyllodes ustulata in Cabinet of Oriental Entomology: p. 57, pl. 28 fig. 1. Type locality Sylhet. This publication is available on BHL.

Thank you, Adam... I don't have any Moths of Thailand books, but I have now found the plate and page on BHL... I appreciate your generous and willing help... B
