Abstract

Five species of Elattoneura Cowley, 1935 have been recorded from Sundaland: E. analis (Selys, 1860), E. aurantiaca (Selys, 1886), E. coomansi Lieftinck, 1937, E. erythromma Lieftinck, 1953 and E. longispina Lieftinck, 1937 (Lieftinck 1954). All of these species occur on the island of Borneo (Orr 2003), but only E. erythromma appears to be endemic to Borneo.
