The Tigermoths (Erebidae, Arctiinae, Lithosiini) of Papua Indonesia
by Rob de Vos
Eilema plana (Boisduval, 1832)
[Lithosia plana Boisduval, 1832] [type: not located]
Ilema costistrigata Bethune-Baker, 1904 [syntypes: Dinawa, Ekeikei, Aroa River, PNG, BMNH]
Brunia repleta Lucas, 1890 [holotype: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia]
Distribution
STATUS: The genus Eilema needs a thorough revision for the New Guinea species. It is to be expected that many sibling species will be discovered. Eilema plana is probably widely distributed but many look alikes may be misidentified among them.
PAPUA LOCALITIES: New Guinea: Foja Mts., Jembatan Dua (Cyclops), Tanah Merah, Utakwa River, Walmak, Warkapi. Details in gazetteer.
EXTERNAL DISTRIBUTION: Papua New Guinea, Australia.
DATA SOURCES: BMNH, KSP, ZMAN. Literature (see below).
