Diagnosis.
The species
could be confused with members of the bosca / increnulata complex (see
below) but the male antennae are ciliate rather than bipectinate. The fasciae of
the forewing are parallel to each other but are finely irregular; in the other
species one or more is straight or regular. In the male genitalia the ventral
margin of the valve is sinuous, pilose, and the corema is weak (triangular,
sclerotised in the bosca complex).
Geographical
range. Borneo,
Singapore (H.N. Ridley material, possibly from Borneo and mislabelled).
Habitat
preference. The
species is infrequent but found in a range of habitats from the lowlands to
2000m. There is some preference for forest.
