Taxonomy
Lepidoplaga sp. 2. nr. L. rubellalis (Snellen, 1890: 577). Unnamed morphotypes seen in the MfNH, FRC Sepilok and the BMNH Colls.
Description
A fulvous colour overall. The FW has a c shaped stigma and a looping post median line. These and the FW venation are a darker fulvous than most of the wing. The HW is a very pale fulvous brown with looping median line. Both wings have darker termenal neural spots. The body is quite elongate. These morphotypes may be the males of H. rubellalisbut that association needs confirmation.
