expanded, crumpled hindwing dorsal angle. The dark borders of both wings contain
white spots, absent in the next two species. All three species have the border
of the forewing postmedial white band concave in the spaces; it is convex in all
other Bornean Nyctemera.
Geographical range. Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo.
Habitat preference. The species occurs from the lowlands to as high as
2000m, never commonly, both in forest and disturbed habitats.
Biology. The moth is taken flying by day and comes to light at nights.
