Cechenena subangustata Rothschild

Cechenena subangustata* Rothschild was treated as a Sundanian (Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra) race of lineosa Walker, but now appears to be a distinct species, though the situation may only be resolved by molecular analysis. Though the bulk of Bornean material in collections is of lineosa, I.J. Kitching (pers. comm.) is aware of one possible specimen of subangustata in the Carnegie Mueum, Pittsburgh, taken by J. Waterstradt in the vicinity of G. Kinabalu, but this should be re-examined. The Barcode of Life Database (BOLD) does not include subangustata from Borneo though there is one specimen from Bali (I.J. Kitching, pers. comm.).
