Diagnosis. This
and the next two species have forewings with a longitudinally striate pattern
with transverse grey fasciae, grey along the veins distal to the postmedial, and
red in the spaces everywhere. In lucibilis the postmedial is entire, more
regularly curved, the curvature strongest towards the costa. Spining in the
aedeagus vesica appears to be variable.
Taxonomic note. The
relationships of this species were discussed by Holloway (1982: 213).
Geographical range. Borneo.
Habitat preference. This
is a frequent species of lowland forest, occurring also in disturbed habitats
and up to 1000m. In Brunei it was found to be particularly frequent in dry heath
forest in the Telisai area.
