Diagnosis. The
forewing pattern of dark grey reticulation on pale yellow is diagnostic. The
lines forming the reticulation are narrower in ssp. interserta, illustrated
by Barlow (1982).
Taxonomic note. The
genus Miltasura Roepke (type species celebensis Roepke, Sulawesi)
is distinguished by an uncus shape as in euprepioides; the ornamentation
of the valve is also similar. It is therefore probable that this genus should be
placed in synonymy with Barsine.
Geographical range. Borneo,
Sumatra; N.E. Himalaya, Peninsular Malaysia (ssp. interserta); Philippines
(ab. samboanganus).
Habitat preference. The
species is found infrequently in a wide range of lowland forest types.
