Aedia intrahens Walker comb. n. (Plate 2, Figs 68, 69) Premusia
intrahens Walker, 1858, List Specimens lepid.
Insects Colln Br. Mus., Diagnosis. This species and the next two have very similar forewing facies, though intrahens usually has the pale marginal zone less clearly separated by dark brown from the sinuously bordered discal to basal pale zone; the paler brown often extends from the reniform towards the postmedial, becoming darker as it does so. The hindwing basal zone is a creamy white in both sexes; that of hirtissima Walker is uniformly medium brown in the male, and basally pale but slightly yellower than in intrahens in the female. See also the next species. Taxonomic note. The records of intrahens by Holloway (1996) proved to be a mixture of the next two species. Geographical range. Borneo, Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, N.E. Himalaya. Habitat preference. Type material of all names in synonymy was taken in Sarawak, probably in the lowlands. No specimens have been recorded in recent surveys. |
