Diagnosis. The male has the forewing postmedial curved parallel to the
margin with a distinctly paler zone basad. There are diagnostic paler
zones associated with the antemedial, the submarginal spots and, on the
hindwing, subcostally. These pale patches recur on the underside. The male
genitalia have the tegumen processes short, blunt as illustrated; the apex
of the aedeagus projection is expanded and upcurved apically.
The female is unknown.
Geographical range. Sundaland.
Habitat preference. The three Bornean species seen were all from lowland
rainforest, though Roepke (1951) indicated the species was also found in
the mountains.
