Diagnosis.
The general colour is as in nebulilinea, but the forewings are apically more acute,
particularly in males, and the postmedial fasciation is inconspicuous,
irregular, within a diffusely darker submarginal shade. The hindwings are much
paler than the forewings, but have a narrowly darker border with a diffuse inner
boundary that is curved rather than straight; this is broader in females.
Geographical
range. India,
Sri Lanka, Burma, Andamans, Borneo, N. Moluccas, Australia (Nielsen et al., 1996).
Habitat
preference. The species has not been taken in recent surveys. The type
material of fetna Swinhoe is labelled as being from G. Kinabalu but lacks precise
data.
