broader and contains a faintly darker discal spot.

Geographical range. Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Java.
Habitat preference. The species is as rare as transpurpuralis, with
only four specimens taken in recent surveys, but generally at lower altitudes:
singletons from heath and dipterocarp forest at 150m in the vicinity of G. Mulu;
one from stunted hill forest at 900m on G. Monkobo in Sabah; one from 1620m on
G. Kinabalu. The holotype is from montane forest at about 1300m on G. Penrisen
in Sarawak.
