Diagnosis. The wings are a dark greenish brown, the forewings with a white discal dash and irregular fasciation, The two specimens from the lowlands are somewhat darker than the montane ones (see below), the antemedial and postmedial paler and enclosing a slightly paler medial zone. The discal mark recurs on the slightly paler underside, and the hindwing has a dark discal mark and more definite fasciation than on the upperside. The male antennae are fasciculate.
Taxonomic note. The hindwing underside facies has an additional orbicular stigma and is very similar to that of pallidipulla (see above), but the forewing postmedial is much more irregular. The male genitalia have valves that have a distinctive central constriction.
Geographical range. Borneo.
Habitat preference. The species is known from the three specimens in the original description, taken at 1500m, 1620m and 1930m on G. Kinabalu, and from two taken in alluvial (50m) and kerangas (150m) forest during the Mulu survey.
