Squamura maculata Heylaerts.
Taxonomic notes. Bornean specimens have the hindwing brownish rather than cream-colour,
but they have male genitalia as in the typical race. A Bornean specimen. was
referred by Roepke to the Vietnamese (Hanoi) S. magma de Joannis to which
it is externally similar but for the elongate discal spot. The relationship of roepkei
to magma and the status of the Javan material referred to by Roepke
need investigation. Roepke recorded roepkei (as flavina) from Java
so there may be another taxon there as well.
Geographical range. Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Java; Borneo.
Habitat
preference. The
species is infrequent in lowland habitats.
