pictimaculis Prout comb. n.
Anisodes pictimaculis Prout,
1929, Novit. zool., 35: 63.
Diagnosis. This is one of two small, rather narrow-winged pinkish species where the
discal spots are orange with darker borders, though this feature is found in
some of the somewhat larger pink species, treated next. The other is P.
confiniscripta Warren
and has the postmedial dots on M2 somewhat
enlarged and displaced more basad than in pictimaculis.
Taxonomic notes. There are coremata on both the fourth sternite and basal to the
genitalia. The aedeagus apex is convolute. The uncus is broad, shallow, rugose.
The saccular process of the valve is an elongate, toothed rod, distinct from the
main lamina.
Geographical range. Java, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Philippines
(Mindanao).
Habitat preference. No recently collected material has been seen. Old
material is from Sandakan on the east coast of Sabah and from Bidi in Sarawak.
