Diagnosis. The forewing facies and the yellow-bordered, blackish
hindwing are distinctive. There is some sexual dimorphism, the medial zone being
more prominent and paler in the larger female.
Geographical range. Sundaland.
Habitat preference. All
four specimens taken in recent surveys are from lowland forest; a further one
taken on G. Trus Madi in Sabah was from just over 500m.
Biology. Yunus & Ho (1980) recorded the species as feeding
on Coffea (Rubiaceae), and there is an unpublished record of Macaranga
(Euphorbiaceae) at FRIM.
