Diagnosis

This is a medium brown species with strongly falcate forewings. The fasciation is finely darker, the postmedial looped in the manner typical of this and the next genus. In about half of specimens seen the apical parts of the loop encloses two blotches of creamy white or dull red that have darker rings within them. The legs of the male bear paler, more ochreous hair pencils.

Geographical range

Indo-Australian tropics to New Guinea and Queensland; also on Guam (see below).

Habitat preference

The species is infrequent in forests from the lowlands to 1790m.

Biology

The adults have been recorded as piercing fruit in Thailand (Bänziger, 1982; Kuroko & Lewvanich, 1993) and Guam (Schreiner, 1991). The record from Annona muricata (Annonaceae) from Yunus & Ho (1980) in Robinson et al. (2001) may also be of this nature.
