47. Targalla palliatrix ( Guenée, 1852) View in CoL : 305 ( Penicillaria )
TL: Java [ Indonesia]
= Eutelia opposita Walker [1863] : 67 (TL: Borneo, Sarawak)
Distribution. Indian records: Arunachal Pradesh ( Sondhi et al. 2021). Global records: Taiwan, Java, Borneo, Sundaland eastwards to Fiji and Samoa ( Kononenko & Pinratana 2013, Watabiki & Yoshimatsu 2014).
Remarks. This species is very similar to T. infida (Walker [1858], 1857) (treated as synonym of T. palliatrix by Kononenko & Pinratana 2013). The type locality of T. infida , was mentioned as Hindostan ( Guenée 1852)) and this could be the reason of reporting of T. palliatrix from India. However, Watabiki & Yoshimatsu (2014) revived the status of T. infida and confirmed its type locality as Burma [ Myanmar] and restricted T. infida distribution to Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines and Australia. Further, they also restricted the distribution of T. palliatrix to Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. The report from Arunachal Pradesh by Sondhi et al. (2021) is probably a misidentification and represents another indian species i.e. Targalla sugii Holloway, 1985 . The report of T. palliatrix from India is doubtful and needs further confirmation.
