Diagnosis.
The general size and facies are similar to those of nigritogata except
the forewing is marked blackish with only a hint of indigo or brown. The
8-shaped area is much more extensive than in nigritogata,
restricting the area of the surrounding zone, which has coarser and more
irregular variegation; the border of the ‘8’ is also more irregular.
Taxonomic
note. The holotype (Taiwan) has darker forewings than material from
Sundaland, and a series from Sulawesi has them even more contrasted, with the
hindwings also paler.
Geographical
range. Taiwan,
Thailand (VK), Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, Sulawesi.
Habitat
preference. The only Bornean specimen seen is from an area of disturbed
lowland forest at 30-60m near Labi in Brunei.
