Eupanacra hollowayi Tennent

Image of [object Object] Tennent

Diehl (1980) illustrated a Sumatran species as E. psaltria Jordan that was indicated to be a new species in Part 3. It was subsequently found in Borneo (a singleton at 125m on Bukit Bahat in Brunei) and described as E. hollowayi Tennent (Tennent, 1991). It can readily be distinguished by the straight, broad, pale buff band incorporated in the forewing postmedial, running directly into the angles of the submarginal white chevrons. It was also described as Eupanacra hogenesi from Peninsular Malaysia by Haxaire (1993), who later (1999) placed it as a synonym of hollowayi. E. psaltria was recorded as a genuine Sumatran species by Diehl (1997).
