Graptasura
Hampson
Type
species: polygrapha Felder, Sulawesi.
This
is the last Bornean genus in the Asura/Miltochrista
complex to be treated. The venation is shown in Fig. 4d. It is distinguished
by the highly complex, rather reticulate forewing pattern of black on yellow,
the fasciae mostly doubled, black borders to the hindwing and two particular
features of the male genitalia: a prominent saccus; a juxta/diaphragm structure that bears several
very large setal spines. The valves are simply bifid. The aedeagus vesica has a
few zones of light scobination, in a few
of which the spines are more elongate.
