Hyposemansis singha Guenée

Marmorinia singha Guenée, 1852, Hist. Nat. Insectes, Spec. gén. Lépid. 7: 372.

Zethes amynoides Moore, 1882, Descr. new Indian lepid. Insects Colln W.S. Atkinson

Diagnosis

The wing shape is unusual, as is the contrast between the very uniform grey upperside and the much more variegated and fasciated underside, the latter resembling more the underside of various Pangrapta Hübner species such as shivulaGuenée (see below). The margins of both wings are bordered pale cream, the hindwing border being broader.

Geographical range

Himalaya, Taiwan, Burma, Borneo; Sumatra (ssp. magnipunctata).

Habitat preference

The species occurs in forest from the lowlands to as high as 1760m, but is only really frequent in lowland dipterocarp forest.
