Diagnosis. This and the next species are easily confused. The forewing postmedial
of G. amplior Thierry-Mieg is more irregular in course, distinctly
indented subcostally. In the female the broad border to the medial bar is
obtusely dentate in amplior, almost straight in occlusata. The
underside of amplior is yellower, the hindwing more strongly marked.
Geographical range. Sri Lanka; N.E. Himalaya, Tonkiin (ssp. laetifica);
Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo (ssp. kinabalensis).
Habitat preference. The species is uncommon, recorded between 1620m and
2110m on G. Kinabalu only.
