Dilophothripa olivia Hampson, 1905, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (7), 16: 584.

Diagnosis

The forewings are uniformly paler than in the other species, a greenish grey, with a lenticular mark formed from the postmedial at the costa and the posterior course of the postmedial conspicuously paler.

There is also a darker patch on the costa subbasally and a double dark dot subdorsally within the medial zone.

Geographical range

Borneo.

Habitat preference

The holotype and one other specimen were taken in Pulo Laut, a low-lying island at the south-east corner of Borneo.

A further specimen has been taken in lowland dipterocarp forest at 150m near the Sungei Rampayoh in Brunei, and another, with a much more uniformly grey forewing, from alluvial forest in the G. Mulu National Park.
