Ophthalmis
Hubner
Type
species: lincea Cramer.
This
is a genus that reaches almost its most westerly extremities in Borneo, being
represented in the very south and very north of the island, thence eastwards
from the Philippines and from Sumatra and Java. Its most easterly locality is in
the Solomons. The two species recorded from Borneo illustrate the extremities in
facies exhibited by the genus as currently recognised. Revision is needed.
