Distribution

 

 

 

 

 

STATUS: Widely distributed in New Guinea, in the western part represented by subspecies isorrhopia. Originally placed in the genus Prasinocyma but Eucyclodes seems more appropiate. Conspicuous characters for this are the undulate wingmargins and the broken tornal patches, typical in Eucyclodes. Both genera need a thorough revision.

PAPUA LOCALITIES: New Guinea: Borme, Cyclops Mts, Demaisi, Mt. Goliath, Huri-Mber, Keerom, Mt. Kunupi, Mokwam, Syoubri (Arfak), Walmak. Details in gazetteer.

EXTERNAL DISTRIBUTION: Papua New Guinea.

DATA SOURCES: BMNH, RMNH, Sandra Lamberts, Joop Schaffers, Siep Sinnema, Peter Jan de Vries, Kristof Zyskowski.
