o"? closely resemble ssp. gunongensis on the upper surface, but the white markings are a little 

 wider except for the discal band on the hind wing, which is slightly narrower ; on the fore 

 wing the discocellular bar is more strongly marked. On the under surface the fore wing lower 

 postdiscal band is more or less continuous (the spots usually separate in ssp. gunongensis) and 

 the hind wing discal band often enters the base of space 3. The chief difference lies in the 

 ground colour, which is strongly reddish brown, whereas in ssp. gunongensis the reddish shade 

 is weak.
