Hyperlopha cristifera ( Walker, 1865)

Hyperlopha cristifera Walker sensu Holloway 1976: 38 .

Material examined. Table 3; Figure 39

Remarks. This species resembles Hyperlopha crucifera in general fascia, even though is slightly larger. H. crucifera was described as a new species by Holloway (2005). He differentiated H. cristifera from H. crucifera based on the male genitalia. We have collected only female specimen of H. cristifera . More research is needed for this species.
