zelotica Collenette

Taxonomic note. The misidentifications cited in the synonymy
reflect the similarity of this species and zelotica. The discrimination here is
based on examinations of type material. C. argyroides (Philippines) is similar
in appearance to aphrasta but differs in its male genitalia, which have the
features discussed for cerigoides and zelotica earlier.
Geographical range. Indian Subregion, Peninsular Malaysia,
Sumatra, Borneo.
Habitat preference. The species is rare, recorded twice from 1780m on G.
Mulu, and once at 1620m and twice at 1930m on G. Kinabalu.
