Diagnosis

The irregularly bifalcate, green forewings with an arcuate submarginal fascia, combined with the rusty reddish (male) or orange (female) hindwings render this species highly distinctive. It has a pale inner edging to the forewing submarginal that distinguishes it from virida and gonophora.

Geographical range

Sumatra, Java, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo.
