Taxonomy
Dichocrocis sp. 20. A specimen from Sabah (KML) photographed by David Fischer.
Description
This sp. is typical of the pandamalis group. It has usual bright yellow colour with five large black spots on the FW where the postmedial fascia is limited to a short black line on the costa and subcosta. Note also the FW has no discal spot and a subtermenal spot is present. This sp. is very similar to Dichocrocis sp. 19 but that species has six spots with a subapical spot on the FW. See Conogethes cliolalis & C. erixantha which are superficially similar.
