Dysaethria sp.


Dysaethria sp.


A female specimen (slide 405) from the coastal locality of Seria in Brunei has facies like a more weakly marked version of D. candidaria Walker comb. n. from New Guinea, another member of the subalbata/nigrifrons group with bipectinate antennae in the male. However, the genitalia differ from those of candidaria in having a longer and narrower sclerotised distal portion of the ductus bursae: this feature does not match that in subalbata or exprimataria either, hence the identity of this specimen is unclear.
