Diagnosis. This is a small, rather greyish fawn species with the fasciae over the
central part of the wing weak, those more distally broader, giving the margin of
the wing a grey-clouded appearance with finer pale fasciae within it.
Taxonomic notes. The identification is tentative. Facies features are similar, and the
male genitalia share the bifid nature and bilateral asymmetry of the sclerotised
arms of the valves, but these are more acute in typical sybillaria. The
cerata of the eighth sternite are long, incurved, equal in sybillaria but
with the left only half the length of the right in the Bornean male.
Geographical range. W. China, Hong Kong; ?Borneo.
Habitat preference. The single male was taken in hill dipterocarp forest
at 300m in the Ulu Temburong, Brunei.
