Diagnosis.
This is a small species like elongata but is generally a more rufous brown. The forewing
fasciation is more strongly sinuous, and this is usually emphasised by a
variable degree of whitish suffusion in a postmedial band.
Taxonomic
note. The original description gave Adelaide, Australia, as type
locality, but the species is not otherwise known from Australia and was
therefore excluded by Nielsen et al. (1996). Poole (1989) placed intracta
as
a synonym of the next species but it is in fact conspecific with amanda.
Geographical
range. Borneo, Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia.
Habitat
preference. This is predominantly an infrequent lowland forest species,
possibly of hill dipterocarp forest as it was restricted to the transect of G.
Mulu during the Mulu survey, extending weakly into the lower montane zone at
1000m.
