Diagnosis.
The forewings are a slightly paler, brighter green than in the previous two species, with the postmedial distal border angled centrally (also on the underside) without the angle being conspicuously darker. The central dark band is more distinctly narrowed towards the tornus, and the submarginal zone is only lightly marked, leaving a clear band of ground colour.

Geographical range. Borneo.

Habitat preference. The species is rare, found only on G. Kinabalu from 1500m to 1930m.
