About Mimeusemia Ceylonica:

It belongs to the subfamily Agaristinae and family Noctuidae.
It was first illustrated by English entomologist George Hampson in 1893.
The species was rediscovered during a moth survey conducted on October 11, 2020 at the Agasthyamalai Community Based Conservation Centre (ACCC) situated in the buffer zone of KMTR, Tirunelveli district.
There is deficient data about the history of this species.
Researchers could see only one moth on all these occasions and not as a pair and hence they did not try to do genitalia dissection to study it further.
