Paramaxates posterecta Holloway

Paramaxates posterecta Holloway, 1976: 62.

Diagnosis

This species is primarily distinguished from the next two by the straight, rather than obtusely excavate, interior edge to the dark submarginal band of the hindwing, a feature seen particularly clearly on the underside.

This continues as a marginal zone over the posterior half of the forewing.

Holloway (1976) noted further differences.

The male genitalia are also diagnostic.

Geographical range

N.E. Himalaya, Taiwan, Burma, Borneo, Sumatra, Java.

Habitat preference

Most records are from upper montane forest (1930m on G. Kinabalu, 1618m on Bukit Retak), but one specimen was taken at 300m in hill dipterocarp forest of Ulu Temburong, Brunei.
