The Anobinae (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) of Papua Indonesiaby Rob de Vos
Crithote pannicula (Swinhoe, 1904)

crinipes (Snellen, 1880)*
Distribution
STATUS: A common and widely distributed species. It has a strong sexual dimorphism. The identity of the New Guinea specimens is still unclear and can either belong to pannicula or *crinipes or even to a new species (Holloway, 2005). Until a clarification has been published on these taxa both are considered here as conspecific.
