Diagnosis.
This and the next species are distinguished by a relatively narrow curved black bar in the centre of the forewing. This bar is much less strongly arched in curviplaga, and any blackish marking distal to it is relatively weak.

Geographical range. Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo.

Habitat preference. Most material in recent surveys was taken at 1000m in lower montane forest on G. Mulu. Two specimens were taken at 1465m and 1618m on Bukit Retak, Brunei.
