Eucyclodes discata Warren comb. n.

Chlorostrota discata Warren, 1897, Novit. zool. 4: 389.

Osteosema discata Warren; Holloway, 1976: 61.

Diagnosis

See comments on charma and textiloides. The white markings are slightly cream coloured in tone and the forewing discal spot below is strongly blackened (weakly or not at all in the other two species).

Taxonomic Notes

Prout comb. & stat. n. from the Philippines is genitalically distinct from discata, not a subspecies as originally described. Only females of benguetensis are known: the ductus and bursa are longer and the sterigma is diagnostically pocket-like.

Geographical Range

Borneo.

Habitat Preference

The species is infrequent in the upper montane zone from 1500m to 2110m, though a single specimen was taken in lower montane forest at 900m on the limestone G. Api, and another at 300m in Ulu Temburong, Brunei.
