The Euteliinae (Lepidoptera: Stictopterinae) of Papua Indonesia

by Rob de Vos

 

Stictoptera microthyris Hampson, 1912

 

Not much is known about the variation of Stictoptera microthyris because it is a rare species. The few specimens known all have a paler basal half with olive-green longitudinal streaks. There is an incomplete row of strong black submarginal dots in the forewing. The dark margin on the hindwing is rather broad.
