Bagada labi sp. n.  
Platysenta magna
Hampson sensu Holloway, 1976: 14.


Bagada labi
(paratype)



18-20mm. The sexes do not differ in facies, both resembling to some extent females of malayica but distinguished as in the diagnoses of that species and B. api. The Himalayan B. magna has more uniform, less variegated forewings, the basal two thirds strongly ochreous, the stigmata indistinct, not picked out paler as in labi.

The male genitalia in labi are distinguished by the long, slender, curved harpe that has a small spikelet subbasally. The aedeagus vesica main tube has a patch of short coarse spines distally. The female genitalia are similar to those of magna but the sclerotisation in the ductus and bursa is slightly less extensive and does not occur in the short appendix bursae.
