I believe, when perfect, the male of this species has a single 

 tail like the nearly allied G hetsimiseraka ; both of the males in 

 the Museum are probably mutilated.

 This is easily separable from G. argynnides by its paler ground- 

 tint, less blackened apex and outer border, and the slightly less 

 prominently slgmoidal outer margin to the primaries.
