Note

The specimens examined by Lallemand (1959, 1963) and Fennah (1977), erroneously identified as B. collaris , were actually specimens of B. trilineata ( Schmidt, 1926) .

Diagnosis

This species can be separated from all other species of Birdantis by the following combination of characters:

(1) frons entirely yellow-brown, without lines or spots ( Fig. 4E View Fig. 4 )

(2) bulge between frons and vertex black ( Fig. 4C View Fig. 4 )

(3) abdomen mostly black dorsally ( Fig. 4A View Fig. 4 ) and brown ventrally ( Fig. 4B View Fig. 4 )

(4) tegmina opaque on basal half and infuscate on distal half ( Fig. 4A View Fig. 4 )

(5) hind wings largely hyaline, with basal angle yellowish ( Fig. 4A View Fig. 4 )
