Taxonomy
Lygomusotima sp. 1. A short series in the Schulze Coll. from Sabah (MKNP). Originally misidentified as a Sufetula sp.
Description
The sp. is mainly a sandy brown, including the head abdomen and thorax. The basal area of the FW costa is darker brown. A fulvous band extends round the FW and HW margins where basally it is edged in black. The FW and HW has white patches submarginally. Darker brown submedian and post median lines traverse both wings, those on the HW are less distinct proximally. The FW cell has an indistinct darker spot.
Very similar to L. stria Solis & Yen but lacking the distinct white intacellular spot on the FW. Schulze (2000) taxon #588.
