Abstract
It is shown that two species are confused under the concept of Chrysorabdia viridata Walker and that also the original series of this nominal taxon is mixed. Following fixation of the identity of C. viridata via designation of a lectotype, the remaining species, widespread in the Southern Himalayas up to Northern Myanmar, is described as Chrysorabdia falsaviridata sp. nov. Morphotaxonomy of all the Indian species is dealt herewith. The male and female genitalia of C. aurantiaca Hampson are described for the first time. Chrysorabdia aurea Kishida is added to the lepidopteran fauna of India. A checklist, a taxonomic key and a distributional map to all the known species of Chrysorabdia are provided.
