Diagnosis. This species could be confused with Degmaptera olivacea
Rothschild (see below), but has pinker hindwings and whitish bands and
markings on the forewing rather than yellowish ones. The forewing apex is
more strongly produced, and there is a subapical row of translucent white
lunules associated with the submarginal.
Geographical
range. Sumatra, Borneo.
Habitat preference. Two specimens were taken on the Mulu survey, in lower
montane forest on G. Mulu (1000m) and in lowland forest on the limestone
G. Api (250m). It is also known from Kundasan at 1000m on the slopes of G.
Kinabalu (Cadiou collection).
