Rarotonga: Dugdale List99 as Glyphodes multilinealis; image from 1990s G.McCormack, comments J.Dugdale 4/2005 "'Margaronia' cf. multilinealis Guenee, possibly now Haritalodes derogata (Fabricius, 1775). The multilinealis group I have reared from Fiji and Niue from Ficus 'prolixa', and elsewhere always found them in association with Ficus" and G.McCormack noted that image was same or very similar to Glyphodes multilinealis of P.Oboyski (see image in database).
