  Description

  
  

  Wing length: 6.5mm. A sp. with typical Nymphicula patterning in fulvous orange with large areas of black speckling on white in the median areas.
  
  This is almost certainly N. tripunctata previously unreported from Borneo. Yoshiasu (1987) confirms it actually has four large eye spots sub termenally on the HW but the upper two are practically fused together to give the appearance of three spots. Similar unnamed spp. are reported from other places in Borneo. Schulze (2000) taxon # 011. See N. xanthobathra for more diagnostic information.
