Callidula jucunda Felder & Felder
Callidula jucunda Felder & Felder, 1874, Reise öst. Fregatte Novara (Zool.), 2: p1. 107.
Diagnosis and taxonomic note
Both this and the next species have the orange area of the forewing extending towards the base of the wing in the costal half and stopping at least 1.5mm away from the distal margin.
The markings are much redder in jucunda. Males have the hindwing costa diagnostically white, as can be seen in the plate of the original description.
This is the only one of the two species recorded from Java, the type locality of jucunda, though they have been confused in the literature in the past. (See Callidula waterstradti sp. n)
Geographical range
Sundaland.
Habitat preference
Most Bornean material seen is from the Kinabalu area collected by Waterstradt.
None has altitude or other habitat data.
It is possibly a lower montane, rather than lowland species, as Javan material is montane.
