Notes from Moths of Borneo:
Diagnosis. The grey falcate forewings with a black apical zone and fine, evenly curved fasciae are distinctive.
Taxonomic notes. Further dissection of Bombyx species has indicated that Sundanian material (incomposita) should be treated as distinct from Himalayan huttoni. The species is externally similar to huttoni, though specimens of the latter from the N.W. Himalaya have a double forewing postmedial, but the genitalia are relatively larger and more elongate.
