Abraxas subhyalinata Röber

Abraxas subhyalinata Röber, 1891, Tijdschr. Ent. 34: 333.

Abraxas discata Warren, 1897, Novit. zool. 4: 86.

Diagnosis

The markings are paler grey on this, the smallest of Bornean Abraxas and more or less restricted to the wing margins except in the discal area.

Taxonomic Notes

Bastelberger from Sumba and Timor is closely related if not conspecific, but has a cream zone between the marginal and submarginal grey of the wings. Material from Sumbawa is intermediate between subhyalinata and privata. A. labraria Guenée (Java) and A. expectata Walker (N. Australia) may also be related.

Geographical Range

Flores, Borneo (Pulo Laut).

Habitat Preference

The Bornean distribution suggests this is a lowland species favouring areas with a definite dry season.
