Diagnosis

The forewings are pale apple green with two fine white transverse fasciae.

The hindwings are greyish white.

Confusion with Chloriola gratissima Walker, with darker, more emerald green forewings and orange hindwings, is unlikely.

Geographical range

Borneo, N.E. Himalaya, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Philippines (Palawan; ZMUC).

Habitat preference

The original material was probably from the lowlands of Sarawak.

Recent surveys have yielded only one specimen, taken in forest at 300m in the Ulu Temburong of Brunei.
