Diagnosis. This is a large, pale yellow species with the wings almost entirely
suffused with a pale reddish grey except at the margins and in a sinuous
postmedial fascia on the forewing. The male genitalia have the uncus square as
in dyssema: the distal margin of the valve is distinctly stepped as
illustrated.
Geographical range. Sumatra, Borneo.
Habitat preference. Two males were taken in wet heath forest at 150m on a
river terrace just west of the Melinau Gorge. An older female specimen is from
Kuching.
