Taxonomic Notes
The taxa kuehni and insulata both occur in New Guinea and have identical male and female genitalia. The former is probably merely a form of the latter, having the facies extensively clouded with pinkish grey. It is therefore brought into synonymy. The Philippines taxon retessellata, represented only by males, and a Javanese female have genitalia as in insulata hence are also considered conspecific.
