Mythimna (Hyphilare) borneana Yoshimatsu

Taxonomic Note

Yoshimatsu (1995) described M. borneana from a single male without precise data from Sabah. The forewing is a fuscous brown, with faintly darker antemedial and postmedial fasciae; there is a white spot  at the end of the cell. The underside of the forewing and base of the upperside of the hindwing are ochreous, the latter grading fuscous distally. The male genitalia are illustrated by Yoshimatsu and indicate a relationship to brunneicoccinea Calora (also in Taiwan and Hong Kong) and liebherri Yoshimatsu from Luzon, and purpurpatagis Chang and formosicola Yoshimatsu from Taiwan.
