Long known as Noorda albizonalis Hampson 1903 or Autocharis<br />

albizonalis (Hampson), this species should be referred to as Deanolis<br />

sublimbalis Snellen, because <strong>of</strong> the priority <strong>of</strong> its description (Snellen 1899)<br />

(M. Shaffer pers. comm. 1997) from specimens collected in Celebes (now<br />

Sulawesi). He also referred to two females from Batavia (now Jakarta).<br />

HampsonÕs type specimen (Hampson 1903), labelled Darjiling, is in the<br />

British Museum (Natural History) (BMNH); and the distribution <strong>of</strong> his<br />

species was given as Sikkim; Celebes, Palos B., Dongola (Doherty).<br />
