Stictoptera semialba Walker

Minica semialba Walker, 1864, J.Linn. Soc. Lond., Zool. 7: 175.

Stictoptera semialba Walker: Holloway, 1976: 18.

Diagnosis

See Stictoptera grisea Moore.

Taxonomic Notes

This is probably the Sundanian sister-species of grisea. Records for the species outside Sundaland in Holloway (1976) were based on misidentifications of rather white specimens of grisea.

Geographical range

Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo.

Habitat preference

On G. Kinabalu the species was taken infrequently from 1000-2600m. During the Mulu survey one specimen only was taken, at 1200m in upper montane forest of the limestone G. Api.

In Brunei two specimens were taken at 1600m on Bukit Retak, and three in lowland dipterocarp forest at Ulu Temburong and Labi.
