Striogyia snelleni Holloway sp. n.

♂♀ 8mm.

The facies is much as in foliola Snellen but the forewings are shorter, deeper and a more pinkish brown colour. The male and female are as illustrated and described in the generic account. The female differs from that of foliola (represented by the holotype ♀ only) in having a more extensively spiralled ductus, a longer bursa and a deeper, almost heart-shaped signum.

Geographical Range

Borneo. Sumatran males have significantly different genitalia and, though a Sumatran female is illustrated here to show generic genitalic characters, probably represent a distinct species, to which a specimen from Singapore is also likely to belong.
