Syncosmia discisuffusa Holloway comb. n
Chloroclystis discisuffusa Holloway, 1976: 68.
Diagnosis
The wings are a dark, pale brownish yellow, finely fasciated with dark brown. On the forewing there is more general brownish suffusion just distal to the discal spot and in the marginal zone.
Taxonomic Notes
The species is closely related to S.craspedozona Prout comb. n. (Bali, Luzon, Seram) as discussed by Holloway (1976). A male from Seram has broader valves and a narrow aedeagus with only one rather than two cornuti in the vesica. The female genitalia are much more similar (Bali specimen compared).
Geographical Range
Borneo.
Habitat Preference
All records are from G. Kinabalu where the species is frequent from 1930m to 2600m, but also occurs down to 1620m.
