Taxonomic
note. The
taxa brought into synonymy above show minor differences in facies but have
identical male genitalia, with a distinctive feature of a strong cornutus in the
aedeagus vesica. The taxa xanthopera and cyclopis could be applied
at a subspecific level to S. Indian with Sri Lankan populations and Australasian
populations respectively.
Geographical
range. Indo-Australian
tropics east to Solomons.
Habitat
preference. Material
taken on G. Kinabalu was mostly from a cultivated area with forest remnants at
1200 (Bundu Tuhan). A specimen has also been taken in lowland forest (300m) in
Brunei.
