Gangarides rosea Walker

Apona rosea Walker, 1865, List Specimens lepid. Insects Colln. Br. Mus . 32: 513.

Gangarides roseus Walker; Kiriakoff, 1968: 42

Taxonomic Note

Schintlmeister (1993) recorded rosea from Palawan as well as Borneo, but did not tabulate it for Borneo in his Sundanian checklist (Schintlmeister, 1994b). S & P recorded it generally from Sundaland. It does in fact occur in Borneo, as A. Schintlmeister (pers. comm.) has confirmed the identity of a specimen from 1500m on G. Trus Madi in Sabah. The specific epithet rosea is with original orthography here but was listed by Schintlmeister (1994b) as roseus.

Geographical range

Himalaya to Sundaland, Sulawesi and Buru.

Habitat preference

The species has been recorded infrequently from a wide range of lowland forest types.
