Appearance

This species is best distinguished on male genitalic characters. Both have rather deep green forewings with wavy darker and lighter fasciae, though the lighter elements, particularly towards the costa tend to be more prominent, whiter in the next species. In the male genitalia, the saccular part of the valve has a single slender process, rather than a serrate row of short spines.

Distribution

Java, Sumatra, Borneo

Habitat

All records are from lowland, mostly forested localities.
