Schistorhynx argentistriga Hampson

Schistorhynx argentistriga Hampson, 1898, J. Bombay nat. Hist. Soc., 11: 706.

Schistorhynx lobata Prout sensu Holloway, 1976: 35.

Diagnosis

The two species in Borneo are very similar, but males of lobataProut have a distinctly triangular hindwing, rather than a normal rounded one, caused by a slight lobing of the tornus. The hindwings have a generally greyer tone in lobatawith, on the underside, the postmedial being faint, less sinuous, and closer to the discal mark. In argentistriga the postmedial is much more definite amid a slightly more variegated ground area.
