The
labuana
species-group
Diagnosis
. The splitting of
Ctenane
into species-groups is based on the very characteristic habitus of the two distinct lineages: the two species belonging to the
labuana
group have similar external characters expressed by the pale greyish forewing ground colour, the conspicuous, relatively broad, dark brownish or blackish stripe in the median area of forewing, and the fine but conspicuous row of blackish dots replacing the postmedial line. The general configuration of the genitalia of both sexes is very similar in the two species-groups (the
labuana
and the
trianguloquelinea
species-groups), sharing the generic autapomorphies which are mentioned in detail under the diagnosis of the latter species-group.
The formerly known two species of the lineage are considered here as conspecific due to their identical genitalia features; a second species is discovered in Sumatra which is described below.
Distribution
. The known range of the species-group is the north-western part of the Sundaland (Borneo, Sumatra and the
Philippines
)
