About Chadisra bipars Walker, 1862

Chadisra bipars Walker, 1862 is a species similar to Chadisra bipartita. Males have a wingspan of 35–38 mm, while females have a wingspan of 45–50 mm. Known larval host plants of this species include Trema orientalis.

In males, the head, thorax, and abdomen are reddish brown. The basal area of the forewings is red-brown, marked with fine pale streaks. A black medial line on the forewings is bent inwards at vein 2. Two postmedial lines are present on the forewings, with brown patches between them at the costa and inner margin, and black dentate marks on the lines themselves. Hindwings are pale fuscous, with a darker margin. There is a pale streak at the anal angle, and cilia are whitish towards the apex.

In females, the head, thorax, and base of the forewings are ochreous-white, and forewing markings are more distinct than they are in males. Larvae are greenish white on the upper side and green on the lower side. They have pale green oblique lateral lines, a yellow dorsal line bordered with grey, and a red tubercle on the 11th somite. All larval legs are green.
