Diagnosis and taxonomic notes. The species is described from a female that resembles
that of hirudinata with the fasciae of the forewing more extensively
suffused with purplish grey. The original description noted that the antennae
were darker than in hirudinata. A possible male is also illustrated. It
is worn but resembles that of hirudinata except the hindwings are much
paler, only the central lobe of the margin being dark grey. Specimens from
Penang and Timor referred to by Warren may represent other taxa, so the concept
of curticornis is tentatively restricted to Borneo until more material is
available to help resolve the issue.
Geographical range. Borneo.
Habitat preference. The holotype is from Kuching, the male from lowland
forest at 300m in the Ulu Temburong, Brunei.
