Siglophora malickyi Kobes, 1997, Heterocera Sumatrana, 11: 44.
Siglophora malickyi
Diagnosis. There is some resemblance to haematica, particularly in
the hindwings (though the basal yellow area is reduced), but the forewings are
darker, denser brown, the yellow restricted to a small basal area, convex distad
and a few patches along the costa, notably a strong, almost triangular one at
two-thirds.
Taxonomic note. The holotype is female rather than male as noted in the
original description. Most material of haematica is male and that of
malickyi is mostly female, so the possibility that the taxa are conspecific
cannot be excluded.
Geographical range. Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo.
Habitat preference.
Two Bornean specimens have been seen, from
Samarinda and from dipterocarp forest at Barito Ulu in the lowlands of
Kalimantan.
