Arna mesilauensis Holloway comb. n.

Euproctis mesilauensis Holloway, 1976: 46.

Diagnosis

The configuration of the brownish shading of the forewing is unmistakable, mostly medial, but with extensions at one third and two thirds into the submarginal yellow, and broadly along the dorsum basad. The male genitalia and eighth abdominal tergite are as in the next species.

Geographical range

Borneo.

Habitat preference

All records are from Mesilau at 1500m on the Pinosuk Plateau of G. Kinabalu. The lofty montane forest in this area was cleared for agriculture and leisure development a few years after the collections were made.
