Holocraspedon bilineata Hampson comb. n.

Eugoa bilineata Hampson, 1901. Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (7), 8: 185.

No l a lauta Swinhoe, 1903, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (7,), 11: 502, syn.n.

Diagnosis

The pattern of dark brown markings on the fawn forewing is distinctive, particularly in the area distal to the postmedial where a series of streaks anteriorly gives way posteriorly to an oblique line that runs to the dorsal angle.

Biology

Yunus & Ho (1980) record the larva (as Philenora lauta) from Coffea (Rubiaceae), but this, for reasons given in the Introduction (see Introduction), should be treated with caution; see also Meteugoa obliquiata Hampson below.
