Sinna floralis Hampson, 1905
Similar species occurs in Himalayas.. My specimens resembles very closely to Sinna floralis. In Moths of Borneo (http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-18/ari...) distribution of the species is restricted to Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo. I am doubtful that my species is S. floralis and could be a new record for Bhutan and range extension for this species to Himalayas. Need further investigation on the ID of this species.
