Sauris improspera Prout
Sauris improspera Prout, 1931, Novit. zool., 36: 164.
Taxonomic notes. This species was recorded from G. Kinabalu by Prout (1932c), but neither
this nor any other Bornean specimen has been located. Its presence in Borneo
therefore needs confirmation. It is allied to S. muscosa Rothschild and
may therefore be better placed in Dystypoptila. Indeed the
specimen may prove to be the female of D. triangularis.
Geographical range. N.E. Himalaya, Burma, Peninsular Malaysia, ?Borneo.
Habitat preference. The female concerned was taken on the Marei Parei
ridge of Kinabalu, at about 1600m.
