Anigraea serratilinea Warren;
Gaede, 1937; Holloway, 1976: 17.
Diagnosis. The general forewing pattern elements of this species are as in rubida
but the colour is browner and there is paler longitudinal streaking such
that the dark subapical bar is more prominent. In the male eighth sternite there
is a paddle-shaped cluster of blade-like scales in addition to hair scales; the
apical spines of the sternite are very slender, almost straight. The valves of
the genitalia are very short and the saccus is basally broad, distally slender,
with a zone of tapering centrally.
Geographical range. N.E. Himalaya, Sundaland, Philippines, Sulawesi, New
Guinea.
Habitat preference. Three out of four specimens taken during the Mulu
survey were from dipterocarp dominated lowland forest, the other was from lower
montane forest on G. Mulu. The specimen taken during the Kinabalu survey was
from 2100m.
