Manoba potterorum sp. n.

 


Manoba potterorum ♂
(holotype)


6mm. The facies is similar to that of
goodfieldi, but with darker grey shading medially and subbasally on the costa. The male genitalia are distinguished by a strongly developed juxta with a bifid spine dorsally. The valves are sinuous, apically acute, and the harpe is rather scoop-like. The aedeagus lacks ornamentation. A male from Sikkim (slide 17621) has similar facies and development of the juxta, though lacking the bifid spine, but the valve apex is more rounded with a central spur, and the harpe is more zig-zag in shape.

Holotype ♂. SAR[AWAK], Moore Coll., 94-106, BM noctuid slide 17756.

Geographical range. Borneo.

Habitat preference. The specimen, probably taken by A.R. Wallace, is most likely to have been from the lowlands.
