The forewing colouration in G rufinus(name indicates that) is intensive redbrown; more towards red than brown. Secondly the forewing and hindwing colours are reddish, hw being paler, fw being stronge. This is also what MOT describes Pg 39#14. In G dharma the forewing is of a different colour fr hw, the latter being ranging "from pale yellow to fuscous red"(MOT vol5pg39#13). further this is distinguished fr G flavescens by its reddish hw.
