Nothomiza
xanthocolona Meyrick
Ephoria xanthocolona Meyrick,
1887, Trans. ent. Soc. London, 1897: 78.
Diagnosis. The pinkish wings with yellow triangles on the forewing costa render xanthocolona
unmistakable.
Taxonomic notes. The male genitalia show an asymmetry unusual in the genus.
Geographical range. Borneo, ?Singapore (H.N. Ridley specimen).
Habitat preference. The only recent material seen is that from the Mulu
survey, where the species was infrequent in lowland kerangas forest and in lower
montane forest (G. Mulu and G. Api), an ecological ‘disjunction’ commented
on by Holloway (1984).
