Diagnosis

This and the next species are easily confused. The forewing postmedial of G . amplior* Thierry-Mieg is more irregular in course, distinctly indented subcostally. In the female the broad border to the medial bar is obtusely dentate in amplior, almost straight in occlusata. The underside of amplior is yellower, the hindwing more strongly marked.

Sri Lanka; N.E. Himalaya, Tonkiin (ssp. laetifica); Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo (ssp. kinabalensis).

Habitat Preference

The species is uncommon, recorded between 1620m and 2110m on G. Kinabalu only.
