Diagnosis.
See the previous species. Males have a more rufous brown forewing with the
fasciae curved concave basad, the postmedial approximately parallel to the
margin. The female forewings are more obscurely variegated, blackish, speckled,
without definite fasciation.
Taxonomic
note. Bänziger (1985) reviewed the classification of the old concept
of Othreis
cajeta Cramer and divided it into three distinct species: cajeta,
in the Indian Subregion northern Vietnam, north and central Thailand; srivijayana;
talboti
Prout,
in the Moluccas (Seram, ?Halmahera, Waigeo). Moore (1881) referred, under cajeta, to a manuscript account by S.N. Wood of a larva on Terminalia
(Combretaceae)
that produced a pupa with a powdery bloom; this seems suspect, and probably a
misidentification.
Geographical
range. Sundaland, Philippines, Sulawesi, Sumba,
Flores, Timor.
Habitat
preference. Records have been infrequent from the lowlands to 2110m.
