About Nola pascua Swinhoe, 1885

This moth species, Nola pascua Swinhoe, 1885, belongs to the taxonomically defined internella species group. Hampson previously treated pascua and quadrimaculata as synonyms of internella. In 1928, Wileman and West determined that analis is a distinct species from pascua. All three of these species look extremely similar to one another in their external appearance. To correctly identify these species, an inspection of their genitalia is required.
