Diagnosis. This is a large species with dark purplish grey-brown forewings crossed
by obscure, oblique, darker wavy fasciae. There is a dark, diffuse bar
subapically. The male eighth sternite has massive coremata and the terminal
spines of the central part are relatively long, arising from a broad basal part;
the valves of the male genitalia are distinctively oblong; the saccus is very
long, slender over the distal two thirds except for a bulbous apex.
Geographical range. N.E. Himalaya, Taiwan, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo,
Sulawesi.
Habitat preference. The only specimen taken in Borneo recently was from
lower montane forest on G. Api during the Mulu survey.
