This
species is usually encountered in heavy forest in dark shaded areas.
Neopithecops
zalmora zalmora has a feeble flight and appears silvery on the wing.
The large black spot in space 7 is very distinct in contrast with the white
background of the undersides of the wings. Both sexes are blackish
brown above.
The species has usually been
encountered singly. Its feeble, fluttering erratic flight, usually
at no more than a metre above the ground, in the darkest recesses of the
nature reserves, gives it a moth-like appearance. |
