Loepa katinka sensu Holloway, 1976: 85.
Diagnosis
This species is larger than sikkima and is best distinguished from it and katinka Westwood by the absence of pink in the subbasal line of the forewing, or only a hint of it; the subbasal is also more heavily black and irregular in course.
Geographical range
Sundaland.
Habitat preference
Most specimens have been taken in upper montane forest on G. Kinabalu and G. Mulu, but the only record for Brunei was in lowland forest in Ulu Temburong.
Biology
