Lyclene distributa Walker comb. rev. 

Lyclene distributa Walker, 1862, J. Linn. Soc. (Zool.), 6:113.

Diagnosis

The forewings have distinctive criss-cross markings of dark brown on yellow; the paler hindwings have an unusual, irregular, submarginal brown band. Those of the former may well be derived from fusion of the broken fasciae seen in typical Lyclene.

Geographical Range

Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra (van Eecke, 1930).

Habitat Preference

The species is rare, four specimens being taken in recent surveys: at Semongok near Kuching; at 50m in alluvial forest near G. Mulu; at 600m at Poring Hot Springs and on G. Trus Madi.
