Description
Polyptychus trilineatus subsp. trilineatus Moore, 1888
Plate 1, Fig. 12
Material examined. PAKISTAN, [Islamabad,] Margalla Hills, Pir Sohawa, 33°49'N 73°08'E, 1000 m, 4. viii. 1998, Z. Varga & G. Ronkay (SMCR).
Remarks. Polyptychus trilineatus subsp. trilineatus is widely distributed in continental South East Asia, from northern Pakistan, east along the Himalaya to southeast China, then south through Thailand and Vietnam (Pittaway & Kitching, 2013). It is replaced by other subspecies in southwest India / Sri Lanka, the Andaman Islands, Sumatra, Java/Bali, the Philippines and Sulawesi. Curiously, the species has yet to be recorded from the island of Borneo.
