Diagnosis.
The patches on the wings are more irregular, the distal fused with the basal on both wings by a central projection from the basal one on the forewing. (See Microplutodes Gen.n.)

Geographical range. Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi.

Habitat preference. The two original specimens were taken at 1620m on G. Kinabalu.
