Asota kinabaluensis is a species of noctuoid moth in the family Erebidae first described by Walter Rothschild in 1896. It appears to have no close relatives in the genus Asota .
The wingspan is 62–64 mm. The forewing pattern is very distinctive with the patchy, very dark brownish-gray and white colors. The abdominal segments have complete black rings. The male antennae are the most strongly bipectinate in the Asota genus. The aedeagus vesica bears a massive tuft of numerous fine spines.
The species is endemic to Borneo. The first specimens were collected from Mount Kinabalu after which the species was named. A. kinabaluensis prefers upper montane forests, but can be found also in hill forests ranging from 1000 to 2600 m.

Nepenthes villosa, or the villose pitcher-plant, is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Mount Kinabalu and neighbouring Mount Tambuyukon in northeastern Borneo. It grows at higher elevations than any other Bornean Nepenthes species, occurring at elevations of over 3,200 m (10,500 ft). Nepenthes villosa is characterised by its highly developed and intricate peristome, which distinguishes it from the closely related N. edwardsiana and N. macrophylla.
Nepenthes × kinabaluensis, or the Kinabalu Pitcher-Plant, is the natural hybrid between N. rajah and N. villosa. It was first collected near Kambarangoh on Mount Kinabalu, Borneo by Lilian Gibbs in 1910 and later mentioned by John Muirhead Macfarlane as "Nepenthes sp." in 1914. Although Macfarlane did not formally name the plant, he noted that "[a]ll available morphological details suggest that this is a hybrid between N. villosa and N. rajah". It was finally described in 1976 by Shigeo Kurata as N. × kinabaluensis. The name was first published in Nepenthes of Mount Kinabalu, but was a nomen nudum at the time as it lacked an adequate description and information on the type specimen. The name was subsequently published validly by Kurata in 1984.
Lobobasis is a monotypic moth genus in the family Erebidae.
