TYPE LOCALITY: Malaysia, Sabah, "Saiap, Mount Kina Balu" .

COMMENTS: Medway (1977) considered phaeura as a subspecies of himalayica but Corbet (1978c) and Jones and Mumford (1971) maintained styani and phaeura as separate species. Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1966:87) included sumatrana in this species, but Gureev (1979:458) listed it as a distinct species, a view followed here.
