Diagnosis.
See the
generic description. The size of the species and the configuration of the
blue-black on the forewing are diagnostic.
Geographical
range. Borneo,
N.E. Himalaya, Taiwan (ab. taiwana);
Sulawesi (ssp. gigas).
Habitat
preference. Records
during the Mulu survey were all associated with limestone, with two specimens
taken in alluvial forest at around 70m and 13 on G. Api at 900m. Records from
the lowlands of Brunei do not appear to be associated with limestone (Labi,
Rampayoh, Ulu Belait).
