Cyana inconclusa Walker

Bizone inconclusa Walker, 1862, J. Linn. Soc. (Zool.), 6 :120.

Chionaema amelaena Hampson, 1903, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (7),

Diagnosis

Both sexes have ochreous yellow, orange or orange-red fasciae that lack black edging, but the male has the double discal spot and red wedge characteristic of many of the previous species. The fasciae are narrower than in selangorica, the only other species of this type that lacks black edging, and the marginal red band has a distinctly dentate inner border. Distinctive features of the genitalia are discussed in the next section.

Biology
