Carteia nebulilinea Walker, [1863] 1864, J. Linn. Soc. (Zool.), 7: 83.

Plecoptera nebulilinea Walker; Holloway, 1976: 35.

Diagnosis

This species and P. violacea (see below) are similar in the way the straight, transverse forewing postmedial has a darker zone distal to it that fades towards the margin, but this is more clearly defined inviolacea, which also has a more fawn ground colour to all the wings. The hindwing has a darker border in both species, but the inner margin of this is much straighter inviolacea, and the area basal to it is distinctly paler.

Geographical range

Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia.

Habitat preference

The species is infrequent from the lowlands in both forested and disturbed habitats; one specimen was recorded at 1618m on Bukit Retak.*
