Diagnosis. The forewings are usually purplish grey-brown with diffuse paler banding
and a subapical orange patch. Some specimens have the forewing more extensively
suffused with rufous orange; both forms are illustrated.
Geographical range. Borneo, New Guinea.
Habitat preference. The type specimen was from Pulo Laut, a low island at
the south of Borneo, but more recent material has been taken mainly in montane
habitats. In the Mulu survey specimens were taken at 500m in hill dipterocarp
forest, in lower montane forest and upper montane forest on the Mulu transect,
and in upper montane forest at 1200m on G. Api. A further specimen has been
taken in upper montane forest (1618m) on Bukit Retak, Brunei.
