Lambula fuliginosa Walker
Lithosia
fuliginosa Walker, 1862, J. Linn. Soc. (Zool.), 6: 106.
Diagnosis. This
and the next species are very similar, being a uniform, dark purplish brown with
a diffuse, transverse and faint medial band on the forewing. The forewing is
more purplish, less rufous and darker in fuliginosa. In the male
genitalia the valves of errata van Eecke are broader, with the distal
spine of the saccular part longer, more strongly and evenly curved.
Geographical range. Borneo.
Habitat preference. All
material taken during the Mulu survey was from lower montane forest at 1000m on
G. Mulu and at 900m on G. Api except for one from 500m in hill dipterocarp
forest on the former. The species has also been taken in lowland forest in
Brunei.
