Taxonomic

spicules detached from a circular pad on the aedeagus vesica of the male. The
bursa in the Bornean specimen dissected is slightly longer than that of a
typical New Guinean female.

Seram, Sulawesi, Borneo.

roadside in secondary vegetation near the Danum Valley Field Centre; at 250m in
dipterocarp forest on G. Api, at 1000m in lower montane forest on G. Mulu. Two
