From Singh et al, 2020.
Cyana flavicincta morphologically well differentiated from other Cyana species. Externally it slightly resembles C. peregrina, but differs clearly by its much larger size and larger black discal spots. In addition, the male of C. flavicincta differs from that of C. peregrina by the absence of an elliptical dark brown spot at hindwing costa, the discal black spots forming a more elongated triangle, the postmedial line perpendicular to the forewing costa (that is oblique in C. peregrina), the additional red stroke at costa situated in the medial area (whereas in C. peregrina that is situated in the post- medial area).
