Diagnosis.
This is a
very small species with whitish wings traversed by pale ochreous fawn fasciae,
that just basal to the hindwing discal spot being broad, as is the rather broken
but marginal lying just distal to the fine postmedial.
Taxonomic
notes. The
unique holotype of albiflava is female and all Bornean material is male,
hence a genitalic confirmation of this identification is not possible. The
facies match is moderate, though Bornean material lacks the light scattering of
black scales seen in the holotype.
Geographical
range. N.E.
Himalaya; ?Borneo.
Habitat
preference. All
three specimens were taken in lowland forest during the Mulu survey, two in hill
dipterocarp forest at 150m and 200m on G. Mulu, one at 250m on the limestone G.
Api.
