Lyclene ?pseudobunda.

As stated in the text of pudibunda, the difference between the pudibunda & cuneigera groups is in the way the 2 dark lines crossing the FW run.
In the[I] cuneigera group , the 2 lines are wide apart at the costa & narrow & curved inwards at the lower dorsum .
In pudibunda group (pudibunda & pseudobunda) the 2 lines expand above(to costa) & below after the constriction (Hour-glass shape).
No. 2 is obviously a member of the pudibunda group.

( Paragraph corrected. )

The pincer-mark on the FW is characteristic for L. pudibunda & pseudobunda.

Of the three, only L. cuneigera have been recorded here.
L. pudibunda is known from the Himalaya Sumatra,& Borneo, while L. pseudobunda is endemic to Borneo.

The case for this being L. pseudobunda are:
The wide hour-glass mark differentiate it from the narrow hour-glass in pudibunda.( However the mainland form may have a wide hour-glass.)
The submarginal spots also tends to merge into an irregular line in pudibunda.)


All other Lyclene species have quite different markings.

PS. I just realised this could be an entirely new species altogether.
As stated in the text for pudibunda, both the pudibunda & cuneigera groups have the FW fringed with black ie. cilia are black.
This one have the FW cilia pale buff brown.
