Peniculimius fructus Schouten, [1994]; PED 5



  • Taxonomy


    The holotype of Peniculimius fructus Schouten, 1994 (: 22, figs 13, 16) is from Brunei, (Rampayoh River).

  • Description


    Wing length: 4mm. The pattern on the slightly falcate FW is not much different from P. crassus Schouten 1994 but overall there are larger and darker brown scale patches on a white background. There are eight termenal spots separated by orange patches.

    This sp. is very similar to Peniculimius crassus, P. api, & P. marginata which only differ slightly in the shape of the fasciae and in the texturing (scale distribution) in the brownish areas. They are all best separated by the genitalia.
