Labanda carinata
(paratype) |

8mm. This is the smallest Bornean species. It has grey forewings with fine
longitudinal black and white striae in the costal zone, and a black, lens-shape
marginal zone crossed by fine white lines on the veins. The male genitalia have
an ampulla at the saccus apex. The valves are basally narrow, the short costal
process set relatively distally. The aedeagus vesica contains one major cornutus.
The facies is unique, as is the grey colour apart from possibly the forewings of
ceylusalis.
