In chrotodon Prout and chrotadelpha Sommerer & Stüning, the medial is displaced towards the postmedial on the forewing, and the discal spot is prominent, and in undifasciata all three fasciae are displaced distally, with the medial and postmedial very strongly crenulate.

Geographical range. Borneo, Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia.
