Aiteta damnipennis Walker

Phanaca damnipennis Walker, 1865, List Specimens lepid. Insects Colln Br. Mus., 33: 857.

Phanaca damnipennis Walker; Kobes, 1997: 167.

Diagnosis

The forewing fasciae and discal spot are diffusely darker; the lenticular marking on the dorsum is variably present in Sumatra (Kobes, 1997) and appears to be a Sundanian peculiarity; the related Sulawesi endemic species albimacula Roepke has this feature more strongly developed, containing a white triangle.

Geographical range

Indian Subregion, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, Philippines, Sulawesi.

Habitat preference

Three specimens have been taken in pristine and selectively logged lowland forest near the Danum Valley Field Centre in Sabah.
