Does anyone know if Borneo (Sabah) has a subspecies of Logania regina (Ronded Mottle). I ask because I have just found a photo from an earlier trip (very bad, so bad I'm embarassed to show it here, unless asked!) that looks just like it. Yutaka does not mention Borneo in the range of ssp. sriwa. Funet mentions Borneo under the species map, but then not for either subspecies, quoting the Philippines as the lype location for the nominate ssp., but then he does not mention the Philippines under the map!

Druce described Miletus regina from Borneo the type location.

Fruhstofer described Logania evora from the Phillipines(Sulu Isles) , the taxon evora falls as a synonym of regina.
