Manoba
melanomedia
Inoue comb. n.
Meganola melanomedia Inoue, 1991: 76.
The
forewing is very similar to that of
chirgwini.
The male genitalia have the valve shape similar to that of
carrei,
but the harpe is angled at right angles rather than obtusely and is distally
more acute, spine-like. The aedeagus is twice as deep, has an oblique apex and,
dorsally, a central saddle-like declivity.
M. triparallelinea
van Eecke comb. n. (Sumatra) may also be related as the male genitalia
are similar. However, the aedeagus lacks the declivity, and the harpe has a
distinct distal lobe. The forewing facies of triparallelinea is more as
in the next group, lacking the transverse medial band and having more oblique,
finer fasciation.
Geographical range. Taiwan, Borneo.
Habitat preference. The three Bornean specimens are from hill dipterocarp
forest at 500m, and from lower montane forest and scrub on limestone at 900m and
1200m.
