Polynesia curtitibia Prout

Polynesia curtitibia Prout, 1922, Novit. zool., 29: 345.

Diagnosis

This and the species in the next genus could be confused with the ennomine genus Microplutodes Holloway: this lacks vein M2 and has a regular, evenly sized submarginal row of orange dots on the hindwing. The two species differ from Eois Hübner species (see above) in having less even, more blocked fasciation particularly in the forewing discal area.

Pseudopolynesia amplificata* Walker differs from P. curtitibia in having a broad, entire, grey-centred postmedial and lacking two definite red ‘tails’ to the hindwing.
