Species details : This species is only encountered infrequently, at the edges of forests. The female is easily distinguished by the white band on the hindwing, which no other member of this Genus on the Island has.

In the photos, above, it appears that both the male and female upperside specimens, have had the same fate, and had been attacked, probably by a lizard or skink.
