larger and less heavily flecked with black on the hindwing. Identification
should be confirmed by examination of the genitalia (see above).

but the male has much narrower valves and a more robust brush between the
coremata as in thermosaria.
Geographical range. N.E.
Himalaya; Borneo, Sulawesi (ssp. cedens).
Habitat preference. The
only Bornean specimen is a female from 1930m on G. Kinabalu.
