Dooabia puncticostata Prout
Dooabia puncticostata Prout
Diagnosis
This is a darker green, more robust species than the first two with a darker border to bothwings and broader grey-brown patches at the forewing tornus and hindwing costal angle. There is no spot interior to the central angle of the forewing margin.
Taxonomic notes
Yazaki (1986) described two species closely related to puncticostata: D. owadai Yazaki (Philippines); D. ambigua Yazaki (Sulawesi). D. myopa Prout stat. n. (Sumatra) has distinct male abdominal features and is therefore, as surmised by Yazaki (in litt.), a good species rather than a subspecies of puncticostata as originally described.
Geographical range
Sundaland.
Habitat preference
Most of the specimens have been taken in lowland forest, but one was recorded at 1000m on G. Mulu and a female was taken at 2110m on G. Kinabalu.
