Diagnosis.
The two species in Borneo are very similar, but males of lobata
Prout
have a distinctly triangular hindwing, rather than a normal rounded one, caused
by a slight lobing of the tornus. The hindwings have a generally greyer tone in lobata
with,
on the underside, the postmedial being faint, less sinuous, and closer to the
discal mark. In argentistriga the postmedial is much more definite amid
a slightly more variegated ground area.
Geographical
range. N.E. Himalaya, S. China (Hong Kong; A.C. Galsworthy, pers.
comm.),
Borneo.
Habitat
preference. All records are from montane forests, at 1000m on G. Mulu and
at 1620m and 1930m on G. Kinabalu.
