Didigua martini


Diagnosis.
This is a very similar species to effusa, but males have a darker hindwing that is excavate only at the tornus. The production anterior to this has beige scales on its ventral surface.

Taxonomic note. An externally similar species in Sulawesi (slide 16785) has fewer spines in the groups distally (though these are longer) and basally in the vesica, and the central one is smaller. It is probably a distinct species.

Geographical range. Sumatra, Borneo.

Habitat preference. Bornean material is limited to two males, one from swamp forest at 15m at Daerah Belait in Brunei and one from 1200m on a partially cultivated slope at 1200m in the Bundu Tuhan area of G. Kinabalu.
