Strepsinoma sp. 4 is a specimen near S. croesusalis (Walker 1859) in the Schulze Coll., from Sabah (PHS).
Description
A brown, white and fulvous sp. whose patterning closely resembles S. croesusalis Walker 1859d but differs subtly in the distribution of the fasciae. Schulze (2000) taxon #009. In most the Bornean specimens of the S. croesusalis group the white trianglular area in the FW is not as obvious as in many W. Malaysian specimens.
