Note: The NE Himalaya species is Catoria olivescens Moore, 1888. Separation from Catoria sublavaria is based on olive colour above, rounded submarginal spots and more prominent cell spot. There are no reliable records of Catoria sublavaria from the Indian Himalaya.Underside markings and/or genitalia needed to identify this genus reliably. Hence, this is provisionally identified to genus level.
