Chrysothyridia sp. 1; PED 15


  • Taxonomy


    Chrysothyridia sp. 1 nr. invertalis Snellen 1876 [1877b], a specimen from Sarawak in the NHM and others from Sabah.

  • Description


    Wing length: 14mm. This is one of the unamed morphotypes with wing patterns midway between Chrysothyridia invertalis and C. triangulifera Munroe, 1967. Note the enlarged apical costal patch is intermediate beteen rectangular and triangular and the larger fenestrae on HW. It does not closely coincide with either C. triangulifera or C. invertalis and it may represent an undescribed sp. Best determined by genitalic examination. Schulze (2000) Taxon #213.
