Danum Valley - July 2013

[Psyche]

Post 3 No. 4 is not the female of A. epimuta.

FW spot 4 dislocated; HW spot 6 nearer spot 5 than cellend bar.
These combination of features indicate it is A. hypomuta.

HW basal spot in space 6 absent (possible).
Antenna tip broadly orange. Unfortunately valid examples of A. hypomuta do not show this.

Alternative pathway (assuming dark basal patch in FW space 1b) leads to A. belphoebe, which cannot be.

Tentative ID A. hypomuta.

PS. The remark about the female omeroda having well-defined spots alone may not be entirely right . Some variations is expected.
The FW subapical spots are also larger & the submarginal band broader & better defined than in ilira.

PS2. No other match possible for post 3 no. 4 .
Two other Bornean endemics A. dajagaka & baluensis have FW spot 4 in line & resembles A. amphimuta.
A. hypomuta deva from Brunei for comparison.
