Diagnosis. Both this and the next species are large, whitish species, the wings
fasciated with fawn and lightly flecked with black scales. The postmedial has
black flecks on the veins, and black spots at the margin in the spaces are also
conspicuous. The black scaling is coarser in quadratisparsa Holloway and
the black hindwing discal dot is larger, squarish. The genitalia of quadratisparsa
have the socii narrower, longer, more parallel and the cerata of the eighth
sternite are distinctly more unequal in length.
Geographical range. Borneo.
Habitat preference. The species was described from G. Murud in Sarawak,
but has since been taken on G. Kinabalu (1620m and three specimens from 1930m).
