Opsiplanon luellus |
| description |
A small dark species, uniformly dark brown. This species could most easily be confused for Catonia bicinctura, but the wing and face pattern can help distinguish the two. The wings have many small white spots between the veins, but not on the veins like in C. bicinctura. The face is uniformly dark brown, contrasting with the face of C. bicinctura and other Catonias. For more images of pinned specimens, see UDEL. |
