Diagnosis. This is a strongly marked species with the basal half of the hindwing
and the medial zone of the forewing predominantly white, the hindwing with a
strong, straight black medial line. The forewing basal area is grey, with a
convex distal border. There is a longitudinally darker bar centrally between the
forewing postmedial and submarginal. The male genitalia are distinguished by the
saccular ornamentation where there are two long, straight, slender, pale spines
together with a short, darker one (this is longer in Javan material (slide
13162)).
Geographical range. Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra; Java.
Habitat preference. The species is recorded infrequently from forests in
the lowlands to the lower montane zone.
