Peratophyga spilodesma Prout;
Holloway, 1976: 84.
Diagnosis. The dark parts of the wings are pinkish grey rather than reddish,
otherwise the markings are as in the next species. A fovea typical of the genus
is present in the male, and the genitalia have the valve apex rounded and two
bulbous cornuti and a sclerotised disc in the aedeagus vesica. In the female the
basal part of the bursa is diagnostically spined, and the signum is smaller than
in the other two related species.
Geographical range. Borneo, Sumatra.
Habitat preference. The species is infrequent and has been taken from the
lowlands to 1620m (G Kinabalu, Bukit Retak).
