    Arctornis hipparia.


    This is an enigmatic species in as much as the type location is Singapore.
    Holloway states the following features.
    1. Satiny white with reflective scales coarse.
    2. Fringes narrowly brownish ( Most Arctornis have the fringes grey).
    3. Frons reddish & palps tipped ochreous.
    4. Legs only faintly spotted.

    Only one observation comes close.
    Probable A. hipparia. Aug. 2018. Mulu N.P. Sarawak. It helps that some of Holloway's specimens also came from Mulu.

    Added. This looks correct; Note coarse corrugations, brownish fringes & legs faintly spotted.
