Abstract:

"The authors revalidate the taxon Theretra striata Rothschild, 1894, currently treated as a junior synonym of Cechetra minor (Butler, 1875), as a valid species, Cechetra striata stat. rev. & comb. nov. The habitus and male genitalia of both species are illustrated and compared, and their known, and broad distributions discussed."
