  3. https://oumnh.ox.ac.uk/collections-online#/item/oum-catalogue-3320 for type specimen. 
Note: Reasonably good match to description by Hampson (1896), but poor match to the original description. Type locality is uncertain, though Lepindex lists as Sarawak, Borneo. The type specimen at the Oxford Museum has a broader basal band on forewing and a broader brown marginal band on hindwing. Provisionally identified, and needs futher investigation.
