“Dindicodes” vigil is a moth of the Geometridae family. It is found in Burma.[2]

Taxonomy

The species has a similar wing pattern to that of the species within the crocina-group of the Dindicodes genus, but the very different male genitalia, and long, strong, diverging, socii, excludes the species from this genus. For now, the correct generic placement is unknown.[1]
