Diagnosis. The species has been distinguished from ferrifera above; an
additional feature is a diffuse pale band, more intense towards the tornus,
within the hindwing border. The polymorphism includes arcuate (no.4) and
barred (no. 3) forms as for ferrifera, but also forms with an oblique
pale band distal to the medial and including the reniform (no. 2) and ones
with pale ground, two basal black streaks, and the postmedial and costa
subapically also dark (no. 1). The typical uniform form is not illustrated.
Geographical range. Borneo.
Habitat preference. The species appears restricted to upper montane
forest. It ranges from 1000-2600m on G. Kinabalu, being common from 1500-2000m.
During the Mulu survey it was taken infrequently in upper montane forest on G.
Mulu. It is also known from Bukit Pagon in Brunei and G. Penrissen in Sarawak.
