It looks like a Trypeta zoe female, but I have not a clear idea about nepalese species. |

Trypeta subrhomboidea S. Ito 2011; was described based on a single male, so this is the first known female picture. Please add it to the gallery!

Many thanks to all for your comments. I've got that article by Ito (Esakia, 51: 1-45) and thought it's a Cornutrypeta, impossible to identify from females. |

John Carr, please consider that wing patterns in Trypeta zoe group are conspicuously dimorphic. It fits that concept very well. Dmitry, there are clear DOUBLE orbital setae; furthermore, no such particular patterns in known Cornu. Val |
