Agrioglypta naralis Felder, [1875]; PED 11


  • Taxonomy


    The holotype of Glyphodes naralis Felder, 1875 (pl. 136 fig. 38) from Sarawak is in the NHM. Comb. n. to Agrioglypta (RTS).

    syn. Glyphodes lacteata Butler,1880: 685 (LepIndex)

  • Description


    Wing length : 13mm. This creamy yellow colour and the general patterning is typical of the several morphotypes in the A. naralis-group. These morphotypes differ from each other in the shape of the FW banding, the presence or absence of submarginal yellow fasciae and the width of the post median purplish fascia. A. naralis has large pale yellowish patches on the FW, the post median one being a simple rounded triangle. It also has distinctive subtermenal yellow bands. See the similar Agrioglypta sp. spp. 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7. RTS (1994) mention two similar spp. from SE Asia, in the NHM collection. A specimen [RMNH.Ins. #19508] (Leiden) from Kalimantan Timur, (Pasir, Gunung Lumut Protection Forest) has been DNA barcoded [BOLD].
