Euthalia malapana Shirôzu & Chung, 1958
Taxonomy & Nomenclature
Synonym/s: Bassarona malapana (Shirôzu & Chung, 1958)
Conservation Status
Erroneously listed as Extinct by (WCMC, 1992:209)
Appears to be extant (Fig. 4 in Yokochi, 2010 ["from Uchida (1991)"), and I can find no other source which suggests it's extinction, nor any report of its rediscovery. Other taxa are definitely erroneously listed as Extinct in (WCMC, 1992:209), namely, Dryotribus mimeticus and Macrancylus linearis (see Lyal, 2014a,b), so it is more likely that this is yet another such case than that it was rediscovered.
