Panilla poliochroa Hampson 

Panilla poliochroa Hampson, 1914, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (8), 13: 209.

Diagnosis

This is a smaller, paler, more speckled species than homospila, but with similar markings, though the hindwing postmedial is somewhat obscure.

Taxonomic note

The male genitalia are slender, broader, more robust than is typical for Panilla, particularly the valves which have spined processes near the base of the costa and sacculus as well as simple spines near the apex of each. There are also differences in the eighth segment of the abdomen, the tergite being broader and the sternite deeper, though of the boletobiine type.

Geographical range

Borneo, Philippines, Taiwan.

Habitat preference

The holotype was taken in the vicinity of G. Marapok in Sarawak. There are two further specimens from 85 miles above (upstream from?) Pontianak in Kalimantan, and two specimens from Sandakan on the coast of Sabah. This is probably a lowland species.
