I Checked with Jim Vargo and Got His Concurrence....
... B. repanda usually shows darkening at the reniform spot and also some dark shading of the three lines, while B. rectifascia usually does not. His specimens shown here are diagnostic:

I've also noticed that photos of B. rectifascia are apt to appear glossy or washed out, while those of B. repanda tend to come out much darker overall.

How did you ID the species?
See my comments here and here on the difficulty of identifying Bagisara species.

Pretty
sure I had Bob or Dennis take a look. If you have doubts, feel free to move to genus page.
I generally don't try to ID my moths unless they are distinct enough to make it easy for me. A sphinx moth, for example.
