Diagnosis.
This species is like a smaller, darker, redder orange version of lassula
(see
under crocea),
the red tone due to more pinkish bands medially and submarginally. As in lassula,
there are strong, straight, but diffuse medial bands that are more conspicuous
than other fasciae.
Geographical
range. Sri Lanka,
India, Burma, Singapore, Borneo, Sulawesi.
Habitat
preference. One specimen was recorded at 900m in stunted hill forest on
Bukit Monkobo, Sabah.
Biology.
Bell (MS) reared the larva in India. It is typical of the genus. He noted that
the pupa had a powdery bloom. The host plants (see also Robinson et al., 2001) were Terminalia
(Combretaceae),
Derris
(Leguminosae),
Artocarpus
(Moraceae)
and Flindersia
(Rutaceae).
