Cyana saulia Swinhoe

Chionema saulia Swinhoe, 1901, Ann. Mag nat. Hist. (7), 8: 124.

Diagnosis

This taxon is very similar to perornata and may only be a form thereof. The unique female is slightly smaller than those of perornata, the fasciae narrower and not edged with black. The genitalia appear identical to those of Bornean perornata with the characteristic appendix bursae and long, sclerotised ductus (slightly shorter than in Himalayan perornata) with an oblique distal margin.

Geographical Range

Borneo.

Habitat Preference

The species is only known from the holotype from Paitan on the coast of Sabah.
