melantroches Prout comb. n.
Anisodes melantroches Prout,
1938, Gross-Schmett. Erde., 12: 170.
Anisodes melantroches Prout;
Holloway, 1976: 63.
Diagnosis. This species is paler, slightly more variegated than the previous three.
The hindwing is distinguished by a very large black discal spot as in some
variants of P. monetaria Guenée, but the paler, variegated facies and
conspicuously pale forewing discal spot distinguish it.
Geographical range. Borneo.
Habitat preference. The species has only been recorded from G. Kinabalu.
Recent material (Holloway, 1976) was all from 1930m.
