Ortholomia xylinata Walker

Taxonomic Note

Schintlmeister (1994b: 210) recorded a Philippines (including Palawan) species attributed to O. vinvalva Schaus from Borneo (material in his collection). However, he did not tabulate it then for Palawan, despite recording it from there previously (Schintlmeister (1993: 116). He has since confirmed (pers. comm.) that it does occur in Palawan. In the figures in Schintlmeister (1993: 156), the illustrations for this concept of vinvalva and for xylinata were transposed. Schintlmeister & Lourens (2010) have now placed vinvalva as synonym of xylinata Walker, having examined the genitalia of the holotype (USNM). The Philippines species formerly attributed to vinvalva is described by them as O. osica Schintlmeister & Lourens (2010).
