Diagnosis.
See B.
joviana above.
Geographical
range. Moluccas to Palau, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and New Caledonia,
Sulawesi, Philippines, Borneo, Java.
Habitat
preference. Both Bornean specimens reliably identified as vitiensis
by
dissection are from G. Kinabalu: a female from 1930m in the series listed by
Holloway (1976) for joviana; a male without precise data collected by
Waterstradt.
Biology.
Robinson (1975) recorded the larval host as Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae),
atypical within the genus. This record and another more suspect one from Hibiscus
(Malvaceae)
are reviewed by Holloway & Miller (2003).
