Consult with Matt, -Reset him a few shots from different years Chasminodes. Here's his verdict. In Primorye, about 10 species of Chasminodes .All develop on limes. Differences species only genital
So it turns out that all the species determination, if not given details about the study genitals should be cleaned, leaving only the genus.Along the way, I have a question to the genus Chasminodes appeared. Leaving alone the imago, take a look at the larvae and pupae. They are that all species are also the same? Time and development stage all the same?
Ps. It would not hurt to try povyraschivat possible, to see all stages, including the transfer of adults spice for analysis genitalia.And then compare what can and will determine the kind of visual clue or do not appear. Same result.

On RDV 8 species Chasminodes. Of these, with white wings and unexpressed outer sash - 6 species. On most photos on the network - at pseudalbonitens, ussurica wings pure white, have bremeri, aino and sugii - VC with a thin black discal stroke, while albonitens (on jpmoth y male) - with discal dot. So maybe there albonitens. Yet in Remark (Remark) to the form here http://www.jpmoth.org/~dmoth/80_Noctuidae/23Hadeninae/3899_Chasminodes/3899_Chasminodes_albonitens/Chasminodes_albonitens.htm indicates that the last four species are difficult to distinguish externally. They discussed the color of the abdominal segments, do not really understand, but in any case, the picture is not visible. There http://bioinfo.lowtem.hokudai.ac.jp/db/modules/zukan/index.php?action=node&node_id=2145 all very different variations of strokes and points by type. In Kononenko in the "Key to the insects DDA" is 5 hours.4, page 387 6 types of external differences are not specified, only genital. So, I think, better inaccurate. But the photo on molbiole http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtopic=408115&view=findpost&p=1280440, that determines our website here this picture https://insecta.pro/gallery/24239, put together with others, as "almost all of the obvious." Maybe someone knows about the external differences, if any?
