Wingspan     : 52-56 mm.
Range            : paoaiensis - Banaue in the Cordillera Central Mountains. N Luzon, Philippines
Notes             : 
A very rare species, found in very few collections.

Originally placed as a subspecies of D. nuydaorum, itself a quite recent discovery, it may be distinguished by the paler yellow marking in the subapical area of the underside of the forewing, and the hindwing.

Bearing in mind the isolation of its range from nuydaorum, its new status is not surprising.
