| A rare species in collections. The subspecies D.w.bryophila differs from the nominate form only in the amount of the black markings on the upperside. In some publications, it is considered to be a synonym of the nominotypical form. However, it somewhat isolated from either other subspecies. Subspecies D.w.abmisibilensis differs by having a golden yellow colouring on the underside forewing, and a brighter colouration on the underside hindwing. |
