Bradina sp. 8

Taxonomy

Bradina? sp. 8 is an unnamed morphotype from Borneo found with a series of Glauconoe ciniferalis Walker, 1865 [1866 Jan 13] : 1417 in the BMNH. The exact identification of this sp. is uncertain but it is similar to:

• Bradina macaralis (Walker 1859d)
• B. mannusalis (Walker, 1859d)

It is tentatively allocated to the Bradina admixalis group.

Description

A silky mushroom-pink sp. with relatively elongate wings. The FW costa is slightly darker but the wings are totally unmarked except for a narrow ‘c’ shaped stigma in the FW cell.

The abdomen is elongate similar to many male Bradina spp.
