Diagnosis.
The forewings are grey with a series of diffuse, darker, brownish arcs
traversing them. There are irregular greenish patches subtornally, associated
with the reniform and, in particular, subbasally at the costa. Many specimens
have two white sagittate marks just distal to the postmedial centrally.
Geographical

swamp forest almost at sea level at Ulu Belait. There is also older material
