white in the female).
Geographical range. Sumatra, Borneo.
Habitat preference. Bornean material is limited to a single male from lower
montane forest at 1000m on G. Mulu. Sumatran material was recorded from the same
altitude.

by E.W. Diehl and had a typical nolid boat-shaped cocoon, bright yellow, with a
vertical exit slit at one end. The host-plant was unidentified.
