Pangrapta macariana Hampson, 1926, Descr. Gen. Spec. Noctuinae, p. 568.

Diagnosis

This is a rather uniform grey-brown species with irregular blackish fasciation. The hindwing has a white discal mark as in albiseriata and also a similar dark extension from the submarginal to the margin, but it lacks the associated series of white marks.

Taxonomic note

The male abdomen is consistent in features with Pangrapta. The valves are narrow, tapering, but with the process relatively basal, close to the sacculus. The aedeagus has two long diverticula, the ends of each with numerous robust spines.

Geographical range

Singapore (holotype only; H.N. Ridley specimen), Borneo, Sumatra (HS / K).

Habitat preference

The species is uncommon but occurs in forests from the lowlands to 1000m, including heath forest and that on limestone.
