Taxonomic Notes

The taxa conspicua and eumytha from Sulawesi are synonymous and best treated as a race of ocernaria. The race is slightly larger, with paler fringes and a more rounded, less angled hindwing, but in male genitalia it is not distinguished from typical ocernaria. The S. Moluccan O. cymodegma Prout comb. n. has facies as in the similaria group but genitalia features as in ocernaria including absence of the setal comb on sternite 3.

Geographical Range

N.E. Himalaya, Sundaland; Sulawesi (ssp. conspicua).

Habitat Preference

The only specimens seen have been from lowland areas of S. Kalimantan (Samarinda, Pulo Laut).
