Diagnosis. The very regularly angled yellow postmedial (almost submarginal) band on
the forewing, together with the size of the moth, is diagnostic. The hindwings
are pale straw colour, slightly fasciated in the female, though the male has a
broad and diffuse zone of dark grey scaling associated with the subdorsal cleft.
Geographical range. New Guinea; Borneo (ssp. cophogona).
Habitat preference. All records are from G. Kinabalu, where the species
occurs infrequently from 1800m to 2600m.
