Additional material

VIETNAM • 1 ♂ (dissected) ( Fig. 5 ); Kiên Giang Province, Phu Quoc National Park ; 10°19′30″ N, 103°57′00″ E; 14 Apr. 2013; H.T. Pham leg.; VNMN .

Remark

Intraspecific variation of the colour of the disc of the hind wings exists in this species, with specimens showing either bright yellow hind wings ( Fig. 4 ) or milky white hind wings ( Fig. 5 ). Conspecificity of both forms was confirmed by the study of the male genitalia.
