Diagnosis.
The forewings are a pale but rich brown with pale mauve-grey highlights,
particularly along the distal margin (also on the hindwing, which has a darker
brown spot at the inner tornal angle). All fasciae are fine, weak, irregular.
The subapical costal mark is also pale grey on brown, enclosed in darker brown,
and a thorn-like shape (or like a shark's dorsal fin).
Taxonomic
note. Despite the somewhat Buzara-like
facies, the male and female genitalia are typical of Bastilla.
Geographic
range. N.E. Himalaya, Sumatra, Java, Borneo.
Habitat
preference. Two specimens were taken in alluvial forest at 70-100m by the
S. Melinau during the Mulu survey.
