Lyclene diffusa Walker, 1862, J. Linn. Soc. (Zool.), 6: 111.
Diagnosis
This and the next species are rather different in facies to the rest of the genus, with the darker forewing markings a reddish grey and extending more broadly into the white areas such that these are largely obscured except for white wedges at the margin and a sinuous row of white dots in the postmedial area. This grey suffusion is more extensive in fridiga, but the hindwings are a paler grey.
Geographical Range
N.E. Himalaya, Sundaland.
Habitat Preference
This is a rare lowland species in Borneo, the only recently taken specimen seen being from dipterocarp forest at 300m in the Ulu Temburong of Brunei.
