Diagnosis. The forewing pattern is basically similar to that of leucostriga
though the dorsal semicircle is as dark as most of the rest of the forewing;
there is a roughly triangular yellowish brown zone on the costa from the
postmedial running up to, and including, the reniform. The basal zone of the
hindwing is more distinctly hyaline.
Geographical range. N.E Himalaya, Borneo, Philippines, Sulawesi, New
Guinea.
Habitat preference. During the Mulu survey the species was taken commonly
in upper montane forest on G. Mulu; a few specimens were taken in the Mulu lower
montane forest and a few in forest at 250m on the lower slopes of G. Api.
