Differs from ра by the absence of the claws on the fore and 
spines on the mid tibiae. From chinensis it is distinguished by the 
following characters: the half-band is less produced outwardly and 
exceeds vein C,; the colouration of the fore wings is more monotonous, 
the bands being unicolor with little perceptible cross lines; hind wings 
with a brownish hue and the transverse band duller, without a white 
apical spot; underside more yellowish with duller fasciae.
