Teulisna ruptifascia Talbot stat. n.comb. n.

Ilema curviplaga ruptifascia Talbot, 1926, Sarawak Mus. J., 3 (2): 133.

Diagnosis

See the previous species. Dissection of male genitalia showed this species to be distinct from curviplaga, with a longer costal process to the valve, a broader hooked saccular process that is only marginally serrate rather than generally scobinate, and an aedeagus vesica lacking any cornuti on the diverticula.

Habitat Preference

During the Mulu survey the species was found to be common in upper montane forest at 1780-1790m on G. Mulu. A few specimens were taken at similar altitudes on Bukit Pagon, Brunei, and on G. Kinabalu. The holotype was from about 2000m on G. Murud, Sarawak.
