Diagnosis. The forewings are a rich, slightly variegated cinnamon brown,
traversed by fine, dark brown, staight, parallel, slightly oblique antemedials
and postmedials. There is a faint dark discal dot, and the distal margin has the
fringes darker brown. The male genitalia are generally similar to those of
fuscosa, except the aedeagus vesica has a relatively extensive but loosely
packed cluster of cornuti on the right side in a relatively ventral position,
these varying in size progressively across the cluster.
Taxonomic note. The species identified as obvia by Holloway (1976) is
discussed next.
Geographical range. Philippines, Borneo, Sumatra (slide 17888; not recorded
by Kobes (1997)).
Habitat preference. The only Bornean specimen seen is without an abdomen and
was taken on the island of Labuan.
