Diagnosis. See the previous species. The basal zone of the forewing is almost
entirely fawn in some specimens. The female forewings are usually paler grey-green
than in the male, the submarginal dark dots more prominent. The species is
unique amongst Bornean congeners in having a pair of well developed coremata on
the male eighth sternite.
Geographical range. N.E. Himalaya, Thailand, Sundaland and eastwards to
New Guinea.
Habitat preference. The species is uncommon in Borneo, taken in a variety
of lowland localities: Labi and Telisai in Brunei; the Segama R. in Sabah;
Badong in Sarawak. Two specimens were taken in upper montane forest at 1600m on
Bukit Retak, Brunei.
