Diagnosis
The species is very similar to Cyclidia diehli Lutz & Kobes, 2002 (Sumatra) externally, but can be distinguished by the blackish brown and more distinct forewing submarginal line. The most distinct differences are in the male genitalia: the terminal part of the uncus is much narrower and longer; a rounded process with short setae is absent on the basal part of each socius, while Cyclidia diehli has this character; the terminal part of the valva is much broader than that of Cyclidia diehli. The male and female genitalia are also similar to those of Cyclidia substigmaria, the diagnosis can be seen under Cyclidia substigmaria substigmaria.
Remarks
There are two subspecies of Cyclidia rectificata. Cyclidia rectificata rectificata (Walker, 1862) is distributed in China and India, and Cyclidia rectificata malaisei Bryk, 1943 is distributed in Myanmar.
Distribution
