Taxonomy
Scoparia sp. 19. A single un-identified specimen from Sabah Mt. Kinabalu (Tinampok, Lily's Cottage) deposited in the ITBC Borneensis Coll.
Description
A dark grey and white sp. FW with an obvious broad dark median area and white subtornal patches. The termenal band is pale with two lines of subtermenal dark dashes and interneural spots. The basal area is dark bounded post basally by a wide white curving band. The HW is very pale grey, darker towards the apex.
Very similar to Scoparia sp. 16 but that has a FW with a much narrower curving white ante-median band and a smaller dark basal area.
