Entomopteryx amputata Guenée
Entomopteryx amputata Guenée, 1857, Hist. nat. Insectes, Spec. gen. Lep., 9 :171.
Callerinnys marginata Warren, 1896, Novit. zool., 3: 407.
Diagnosis
In the male the narrowed, tornally excavate hindwings with a pilose underside distinguish this species from **statheuta. The hindwing medial is stronger but the punctate postmedial of statheuta is lacking in **amputata. The forewing postmedial in amputata is more oblique, weakly sinuous rather than straight.
Geographical Range
Sundaland.
Habitat Preference
Most Bornean material seen is from G. Kinabalu, taken by Waterstradt, but without altitude data.
Biology
The larva was discovered in 1992 by Dr M.A. Cook in the lowlands of Brunei. A full account of these findings may be found in Weintraub, Cook & Scoble (in press). The host plant was a fern.
