Diagnosis. The forewings are variably brownish grey, finely and regularly fasciated
with black and brown, a paler ochreous grey band running distal to the
postmedial. The forewing and body are tinged rufous-ochreous, the head and
thorax most clearly of this colour. The fasciation is somewhat reminiscent of
species in Syncosmia Warren, but the colour is distinctive.
Geographical range. Borneo.
Habitat preference. The species is frequent on G. Kinabalu over a range
of 1620m to 2110m. Two specimens have been taken on G. Mulu at 1780m.
