TL: New Guinea
Males have black forewings, with a large triangular area from the hindmargin forwards to R3, penetrating into the cell, truncate-sinuate costally, not extending to the base. There are three white spots beyond the apex of the cell from the costal margin to R3, more or less confluent, the first the smallest and two white subapical spots.
The hindwings are mostly white with a somewhat irregular black distal margin band, tapering behind. In females, the forewings are more extended black and have the spots sulphur-yellow. The hindwings are shaded with sulphur-yellow, and have a broader black border, which includes vestigial sulphurous spots.
