Odonestis lipara Tams stat n

Odonestis erectilinea lipara Tams, 1935: 61.

Odonestis erectilinea Swinhoe; sensu Holloway, 1976: 90.

Diagnosis

The species is dark purplish red.

It resembles erectilinea most closely but lacks the straight antemedial fascia.

Taxonomic Notes

Sympatry with erectilinea in Borneo indicates this taxon cannot be considered a subspecies thereof.

Zolotuhin & Pinratana (2005: 137) recorded Odonestis lipara for N. Thailand on the basis of a possible female labelled as from Sansai on 17 September 1985. Note 57 indicates why this record is probably spurious. They also recorded the species from Peninsular Malaysia.

Geographical range

Borneo.

Habitat preference

The species was described from Mt. Murud, Sarawak, and has been taken in upper montane forest above 1500m on G. Mulu, Bukit Pagon and G. Kinabalu.

In the last locality it was recorded from as high as 2600m (Holloway, 1976).
