Fentonia hollowayi Schintlmeister

Diagnosis

See Fentonia sumatrana Kiriakoff.

Taxonomic Note

S & P indicated that two species had been confused under Fentonia helena Kiriakoff. The Bornean species is not helena and was described as hollowayi Schintlmeister. It can be distinguished from both helena and sumatrana by longer rami in the bipectinate male antennae and, in the male abdomen, by a pucker, rather than a transverse flange, in the centre of the eighth sternite, by valves narrower over the distal part with a more prominent subbasal bulge on the costa, and by a more produced and sclerotised apex to the aedeagus. F. hollowayi occurs also in Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra.

Geographical Range

Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo.

Habitat Preference

The species has been recorded frequently from 1500 - 2000 m in upper montane forest on G. Kinabalu, Bukit Pagon, Bukit Retak and G. Mulu.
