Hering (1934 a : 400) incorrectly synonymized marantica as a junior synonym of 

 strandi, but later corrected this (1934 b : 407) and at the same time correctly placed 

 ignorata in the synonymy of marantica. 



The coloration of this species is variable. The ground-colour of the upper surface 

 of the wings may be one of many shades of reddish or greyish brown, with the area 

 proximal to the postmedial fascia usually darker than the rest of the wing and often 

 marked with irregular patches of white or pale grey. The subterminal spots on 

 both wings are usually less well marked than in strandi and are sometimes absent. 

 The holotype is an almost uniform pale reddish brown above, with a trace of the 

 subterminal markings on the hind wings only.
