Artaxa gentia
Swinhoe
comb .n.
Euproctis
gentia Swinhoe,
1903, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (7), 12: 195.
Euproctis
gentia Swinhoe;
Holloway, 1976: 49.
Diagnosis. Only females are known. The disposition of black markings on the yellow
forewing facies is diagnostic.
Taxonomic note. The venation shows no particularly distinctive departures from the
general tribal pattern, but the genitalia have features as in A. cina, hence
the combination with Artaxa.
Geographical range. Borneo.
Habitat preference. All three known specimens are from G. Kinabalu. The
only one with altitude data was from 1500m on the Pinosuk Plateau of G. Kinabalu
in a locality now cleared of forest.
