Ophthalmodes rufilauta Prout; Holloway, 1976: 84.

Diagnosis

This species is best distinguished by the brown shading between the hindwing antemedial and the discal mark. There is brown suffusion elsewhere particularly in association with the fasciae; the fasciae are rather weakly defined on the forewing. In the male genitalia the valves have three spur-like processes: central, basal; distal, saccular; subcostal, central.

Geographical Range

Borneo.

Habitat Preference

The majority of specimens taken in recent surveys were from lowland rainforest, the highest being a male from 1000m in the lower montane forest zone of G. Mulu and a female from 1200m on G. Kinabalu.
