Figure 115


Diagnosis.
The facies is Alcis-like, but the dark discal lunules and the forewing orbicular have a whitish surround. The postmedial and submarginal fasciae of all wings are irregularly sinuous, and the hindwings have a dark brown fascia just basal to the discal mark. There are fewer extensive areas of dark brown patches than in the next species (see below).

Geographical range. Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Java.

Habitat preference. The only Bornean specimen is from Bidi in the lowlands of Sarawak.
