Tochara
and
the next genus, but the wings are a darker, blackish brown and have more
obscure, irregular fasciae rather than straight ones. The forewings are
relatively narrow, and the reniform is picked out slightly paler.
Geographical

forest, not recorded above 200m. However, Chey (1994) recorded several specimens
in softwood plantations, particularly those of Acacia

in the lowlands of Sabah.
