Xenochroa leucocraspis
(holotype)


Diagnosis.
The forewings are a uniform deep brick red with only faint fasciation and a hint of grey suffusion centrally.

Taxonomic note. The generic assignment is based on facies, as a female abdomen was found to be attached to the otherwise male holotype.

Geographical range. Borneo.

Habitat preference. The species is known only from the holotype, taken at Sandakan on the coast of Sabah in 1891.
