Lemyra maculifascia Walker

Taxonomic notes

Thomas (1990) published the revision of Lemyra Walker that was anticipated in Part 6. His revision confirmed one species for the Bornean list and brought the species covered in the next note into the genus. The additional species is in effect confirmation of the occurrence of maculifascia Walker for Borneo, as discussed in the generic account, though no indication of further material is given by Thomas. He did, however, treat the maculifascia complex (also discussed by Holloway (1982: 217)), as a single species ranging from Sundaland to New Guinea and Australia, bringing parvula Hulstaert (New Guinea) and malayensis Hampson (Bali) into its synonymy. Thomas retained *L. *quadrisaccus Holloway (Peninsular Malaysia) as distinct and listed a Sumatran fauna of five species, including three newly described endemics. Cerný & Pinratana (2009) recorded quadrisaccus from Thailand.

Geographical range

Sundaland. Lesser Sundas, Wallacea, S. Moluccas.
