About the Karimbujangi Lanternfly
A member of the genus Saiva recorded from Sabah, named for the locality where it was first documented — no confirmed photo is yet on file for this page.
Smaller and less flamboyant than the larger Pyrops species covered on this page, relying on cryptic bark-toned colouring rather than bold pattern for camouflage.
Not assessed for conservation status.
