The Hulodini (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, Erebinae) of Papua Indonesiaby Rob de Vos & Alberto Zilli
Platyja cyanocraspis Hampson, 1922
Distribution
STATUS: Endemic in New Guinea, rather common. Very similar to the recently discovered P. subtracta, but it can externally be distinguished as follows: males of cyanocraspis have the reniform mark elongated (in subtracta small and round), females of cyanocraspis have two black dorsal spots on the forewing (in subtracta these are lacking). Furthermore the genitalia are very different.
