Diagnosis. See lichenosa above. Females have more strongly variegated
forewings than males in the typical race, but both sexes of ssp. moluccensis
show this.
Geographical range. Singapore, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo; S.
Moluccas, New Guinea (ssp. moluccensis).
Habitat preference. This is the rarest of the three ‘mossy’ species, but has
been recorded over a similar range of habitats.
