Cypa uniformis Mell

Inoue (1991) described C. attenuata as a new species from Borneo, but it proved to be a subspecies of C. uniformis Mell (Kitching & Cadiou, 2000). The type material of attenuata was taken in Sabah at 1400m in the Crocker Range near Keningau (holotype male) and at Keningau without more precise data (paratype male). The typical race of C. uniformis is from S. China, ssp. pallens Jordan occurs in the Himalayan region from N.W. India and Nepal, and is also in Yunnan, and ssp. attenuata is only known from northern Borneo.
