Artaxa sabahensis
Holloway
comb. n.
Euproctis
sabahensis Holloway,
1976: 48.
Diagnosis and taxonomic note. The wings are white above except for the basal grey
zone of the hindwing. The forewing looks grey over the basal half, but this is
the influence of the underside where both wings are extensively grey basally,
with an even white border as broad as that on the hindwing above. The males lack
this grey zone on the underside. The characteristics of the genitalia are as in A.
cina, hence this species is tentatively transferred to Artaxa.
Geographical range. Borneo.
Habitat preference. Only the holotype female is known, from 1920m on G.
Kinabalu.
