Uraba sp. (maybe Uraba deplanana)


The only other Uraba sp. besides U. lugens in the world is U. deplanana named from a single specimen in the British museum from Tasmania. I can find no images or more mentions of it since Walker's description in 1866:           

 "Fore wings rounded at the tips, with a few black discal points, and with a row of black points along the exterior border and along the adjoining part of the costa and of the interior border; costa convex and prominent near the base; exterior border slightly convex, very oblique. Hind wings whitish."       

 

One suspects it was a once only aberration or mutant.
