Diagnosis. Both Bornean species have a characteristic reticulate red pattern
on the forewing, with yellow distal to it and black apical and subapical marks,
the latter two, one long, one short, in calospila, with the long one
broken into two in
floralis
Hampson, and separated from the red reticulation by a broader zone of yellow.
The male hindwings are yellow and those of the female cream in calospila;
they are white in both sexes of floralis.
Taxonomic note. Bornean material has somewhat narrower white bars in the
forewing pattern. In the male genitalia the valve apex is slightly narrower and
more oblique, and the single cornutus in the vesica is more robust.
Geographical range. Sumatra, Java, Borneo.
Habitat preference.
This is an uncommon montane species, found from
900m to 1930m.
