Diagnosis
The general colour is pale yellow, broadly and irregularly fasciated with grey, with some longitudinal elements linking the fasciae in the vicinity of M2 and along the anterior-cubital veins. Some confusion with Mesotrophe species is possible (See Mesotrophe Hampson Gen. rev).
Taxonomic Notes
The structure of the uncus and valve suggests a relationship with the Trirachopoda group, as does the single cornutus in the vesica of the rather narrow, straight aedeagus.
Geographical Range
Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, N.E. Himalaya, Tonkin (ssp. lichenaria) Taiwan, Seram, Sulawesi, New Guinea, Bismarcks.
