Diagnosis.
This is a larger species than congeners, with the section of the postmedial
anterior to the angle more evenly curved, placing the angle much further from
the costa. The postmedials on both wings have a distinctly paler brown area
distad that extends to the submarginals.
Taxonomic
note. As noted above, the facies is somewhat atypical of Condate.
In the male abdomen, the eighth segment is not modified significantly from the
general framed corematous type, and the genitalia are more typical of the Saroba
group
of genera, particularly in the valve and the juxta, the latter with a central
projection.
Geographical
range. India, Bangladesh, Taiwan, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo.
Habitat
preference. Bornean material seen is restricted to two specimens taken at
Bidi in the lowlands of Sarawak.
