Oraura longipennis Moore. Oriental tropics to Sundaland and Philippines

The author has been notified on two occasions of the occurrence of Oraura ordgara in Borneo, predictable in view of the disjunction of previous records in Palawan (type locality) and Sumatra (Bender, 1985). It occurs also in the main Philippines archipelago (Schintlmeister, 1993). Dr Chey Vun Khen recorded it in the Deramokot Forest Reserve, Sabah, and Catherine Karim recorded it in the Bau limestone area of Sarawak. This taxon and uncinata Semper have been synonymised with O. longipennis Moore by Schintlmeister & Lourens (2010), a taxon described from Peninsular Malaysia that (Schintlmeister, 1994b) also flies in Sumatra and the Philippines and extends to Thailand, Indochina, India and China (see also Schintlmeister, 1991 [1992]; S & P).
