Diagnosis. The wings are a rather ochreous
fawn-brown, the basal half of the forewing being darker and separated from the
distal half by a straight boundary that passes through the reniform stigma.
There is an oblique dark brown bar on the forewing costa at about
three-quarters, and the submarginal is rather more regular and linear than in
other species, being straight over its anterior third. The pale fawn markings
at the margin of the hindwing are more extensive, less divided than in other
species.
Geographical range. N.E. Himalaya, Vietnam
(Zilli, 1999), Thailand (VK), Peninsular Malaysia,
Sumatra, Borneo, Philippines, Sulawesi, Seram.
Habitat preference. Records have been made from the
lowlands to 1930m, but perhaps more frequently in lowland and lower montane
forest up to 1000m.
