Scrobigera hesperioides Walker stat n

Eusemia hesperioides Walker, 1862, J. Linn, Soc. Lond. (Zool.) 6: 86.

Scrobigera proxima hesperioides Walker; Kiriakoff, 1977: 37.

Diagnosis

The species is somewhat similar to Crinocula kinabaluensis Rothschild but is larger, with forewing apices more produced. The forewing band is almost complete rather than restricted to the centre of the wing, and the fringes of both wings are at least partially white.

Biology

The species is day-flying. The larva of proxima (as amatrix Westwood) was illustrated by Horsfield & Moore 1858-9 (plate 8: 2). The head, prothorax and anal segments are yellow with black spots. The rest of the body is black with white subdorsal bands and intersegmental rings. The primary setae are long. The host-plant was Cissus (Vitaceae).
