Chrysocraspeda croceomarginata Warren

Chrysocraspeda croceomarginata Warren, 1896, Novit. zool., 3: 370.

Diagnosis

This and the next species, C. remutans Prout, are very similar, both sexes resembling the female of C. faganaria (below). C. croceomarginata is smaller, with the wings a greyer red that is less angled distally into the yellow margin, especially on the hindwing where the margin itself is less angled. The discal spots are more definite in C. remutans, white on the hindwing, blackish on the forewing. In the male genitalia C. croceomarginata has a narrower uncus and a shorter, rather tongue-like process at the apex of the aedeagus.

Geographical range

Java, Sumatra, Singapore, Borneo.

Habitat preference

Both Bornean specimens are from lowland localities: 50miles inland up the Segama river, Sabah; 250m in dipterocarp forest on the lower slopes of the limestone G. Api, G. Mulu National Park.
