Collinsa sp. 4


Taxonomy

Sabah, PHS, Por 4. Collinsa sp. 4 is a single unnamed specimen, morphotype T21, in the Schulze Coll. from PHS nr. C. decoratalis (Warren, 1896a).

Description

A richly marked Collinsa sp. with areas of mottled orange-brown, pinkish-brown and dark brown on the FW. Note the large pale blotches on the FW costa. A reticulated pattern in darker brown is present on the HW which has a dark brown diagonal antemedian fascia. This Bornean specimen is somewhat different from that of the RTS illustrated specimen of C. decoratalis, from GTE. In particular the HW has a distinct narrow dark brown antemedian band, the darker suffusion of the FW forms a band from the median inner margin towards the apex and it lacks a brown band at the base of the abdomen.
