Diagnosis.
Though the same size and shape as species of Condate,
the facies is very different. The forewing fasciation is diffuse, darker reddish
and transverse rather than clearly defined, oblique and, in the case of the
postmedial, angled as in Condate. The forewing reniform is picked out
irregularly in pale yellow, with two of the diffuse fasciae basal to it and two
distal to it.
Geographical
range. Borneo.
Habitat
preference. The only specimen is the holotype from Sandakan on the coast of
Sabah.
