Lintneria xantus (Cary, 1963)

Most similar to Lintneria istar, the principal differences being that it is smaller (fwl. 90 mm. as against approx. 125 mm.); is darker and less variegated; and that the median area of forewing upperside has a strong pinkish tinge, rather than whitish grey. Other differences include: abdomen upperside with black mesial line more prominent due to a paler background; forewing upperside with 4 distinct white spots on costal margin, only faintly indicated in Lintneria istar; apex more whitish with the 3 dark apical lines better defined; discal area darker brown, contrasting more strongly with the rest of the wing; forewing underside grey-black, rather than light brownish grey, with markings indistinct; hindwing upperside with the black marginal band proportionally broader, and black median band proportionally narrower; white median band not penetrated by black tooth-like marks; hindwing underside much darker; the twin bands from costal to hind margin narrower, closer together and with fewer denticular intrusions into the space between them; marginal blackish grey band broader. 90 mm. Similar to those of Lintneria istar; but:harpe with more numerous teeth on the dorsal margin, set closer together and distributed throughout the dorsal margin, not largely confined to the posterior half;aedeagus proportionally larger.
