Didigua martini Kobes comb. n.

Lasionotella martini Kobes, 1997: 158.

Lasionotella exesa Warren sensu Holloway, 1976: 27.

Diagnosis

This is a very similar species to effusa, but males have a darker hindwing that is excavate only at the tornus.

The production anterior to this has beige scales on its ventral surface.

Taxonomic Notes

An externally similar species in Sulawesi (slide 16785) has fewer spines in the groups distally (though these are longer) and basally in the vesica, and the central one is smaller.

It is probably a distinct species.

Geographical range

Sumatra, Borneo.

Habitat preference

Bornean material is limited to two males, one from swamp forest at 15m at Daerah Belait in Brunei and one from 1200m on a partially cultivated slope at 1200m in the Bundu Tuhan area of G. Kinabalu.
