Wingspan : c. 52mm
Range        : zebra - Ibele Valley, Wamena, Irian Jaya
takanamii - Ilu, Central Mtns, Irian Jaya
Notes         :
This species can easily be distinguished by the white vein markings on the underside hind wing, and also by the brighter brown marking on that wing than with the other members of the group. The subspecies D.z.takanamii takes this colouring even further, heading towards a reddish-brown colouring.
