Taxonomy
The male holotype of Botys aeclusalis Walker 1859: 688 is from Sarawak. The type #936 collected by A.R. Wallace, is in the Oxford U.M. N.H. It is supposedly a junior subjective syn. of Bradina adhaesalis (Walker, 1859: 687) but we consider it a good sp.
Description
A dark grey brown sp. with two small dark marks in the FW cell. There are darker PML on FW & HW. These lines are completely sraight unlike in Bradina adhaesalis. Like many Bradina spp. the males have elongate abdomens.
