Diagnosis. The thoracic markings are linear rather than punctate. The forewing
black striae are broader than the ground colour separating them. The hindwings
have the margin most strongly excavate, with a few relatively large black spots
in the discal zone.
Taxonomic notes. Sundanian specimens are referable to ssp. rhabdota Jordan where
the thorax has black stripes rather than the black dots of the typical race.
Geographical range. Japan, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo; Buru,
New Guinea, Solomons.
Habitat preference. During the Mulu survey a few specimens were taken in
both lowland dipterocarp forest and lower montane forest on limestone.
