Diagnosis
. The forewing generally resembles that of the previous two species, but is more violet as in maturescens. The sharply defined medial boundary is diagnostically curved, such that the dark zone between it and the postmedial tapers almost to nothing at the dorsum. The paler markings have a distinct yellowish tinge.

Geographical range. Borneo.

Habitat preference. The species is only known from the G. Kinabalu type series, where a specimen was recorded at 1200m and two at 1620mm, both areas of disturbed montane forest.
