This species does not appear to be rare at higher altitudes, though it is difficult 

 to obtain in good condition on account of its high flight. It visits flowering trees, 

 like the allied species. The female varies considerably in the amount of black on 

 the abdomen and in the size of the white markings of the wings. In some females 

 the spots of the discal row on the forewing are all of nearly the same size, while 

 in the majority of specimens some of the anterior spots have disappeared. This 

 species occurs also at the Upper Mambare River, north-east side of the Owen 

 Stanley Range.
