Lymantria hollowayi Schintlmeister

Lymantria hollowayi Schintlmeister, 1994: 123.

Lymantria ganaroides Strand, sensu Holloway, 1976: 50.

Diagnosis

This and the next species are very similar, and identity should be confirmed by dissection. The male of hollowayi is slightly larger with a more rounded forewing apex and a stronger submarginal band to the hindwing. The latter character also distinguishes the female (illustrated by Schintlmeister (1994)); see singapura above where the female is also similar. In the male genitalia the valve is broader apically, with a less hooked subsidiary spur. The saccus and aedeagus are longer.

Geographical Range

Sumatra, Borneo.

This is a montane species, found relatively frequently from 900mto 1790m.
