Taxonomic note. The synonymy of ides follows a manuscript note by Lödl in 1997 in the BMNH curation and also Edwards in Nielsen et al. (1996), rather than Poole (1989); the taxon was formally transferred to Britha by Mayerl & Lödl (1999:118). The facies and genitalia of ides are as in biguttata, though there is variation in the apex of the right valve, which usually has a small subapical lobe ventrally.
Geographical range. Queensland, New Guinea, Bismarcks, Ambon, Sulawesi, Java, Borneo, Burma, Taiwan, Indian Subregion.
