Teulisna nebulosa Walker comb. n.

Lithosia nebulosa Walker, 1862, J. Linn. Soc. (Zool.), 6: 106.

Ilema perdentata Druce, 1899, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (7), 4: 201.

Diagnosis

There is strong sexual dimorphism, with males being dull pale orange and females a paler straw colour. Basally and distally the wing is streaked darker on the veins, and these streaked areas are separated by an irregularly zig-zag band in a central pale zone. These markings are very faint in the male but prominent and grey in the female.

Geographical Range

Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo.

Habitat Preference

The species was taken in numbers in lower montane forest at 1000m on G. Mulu. Two specimens were taken at 900m on G. Api. Records from Bukit Pagon (a singleton at 1670m) and G. Kinabalu (one from 1800m) are somewhat higher.
