Diagnosis

Both sexes have ochreous yellow, orange or orange-red fasciae that lack black edging, but the male has the double discal spot and red wedge characteristic of many of Cyana barisana Roesler & Küppers. The fasciae are narrower than in selangorica, the only other species of this type that lacks black edging, and the marginal red band has a distinctly dentate inner border. Distinctive features of the genitalia are discussed in the next section.

Biology

An unpublished record at FRIM of the larva defoliating Dyera (Apocynaceae) needs confirmation.
