Diagnosis.
The moth resembles a smaller, paler, greyer version of V. minereusalis.
However, the male antennae are strongly bipectinate, and the forewing postmedial,
not always conspicuous, is angled round the reniform rather than passing in
straight but irregular line distal to it.
Geographical
range. Borneo.
Habitat
preference. The original material is from G. Kinabalu but without altitude
data. Recent records are of four specimens from lowland forest during the Mulu
survey: alluvial forest at 50-70m; dipterocarp forest at 150m; and forest on
limestone at 250m.
