Eois ephyrata (x 1.33)


Diagnosis. The facies is similar to that in pallidula but generally more ochreous, darker, with a weakly paler band postmedially on the forewing. The male abdomen is characterised by paired apodemes on the eighth segment and long coremata from the valve costa base, itself strongly angled and reinforced by narrow bands. The female has a signum typical of subgenus Psilocambogia but there are no supplementary zones of spines (a small transverse one basal to the signum in pallidula).

Geographical range. Borneo.

Habitat preference. All recent material is from low elevation dipterocarp forest on limestone.
