SUMMARY
See Butterfly Circle (Information Pages). See Corbet & Pendlebury (1956) page 253.
The upperside of the male of the Malayan Plum Judy is crimson brown and unmarked. The underside is paler and each wing has a pair of diffuse, pale-purplish post-discal bands. The outer band on the hindwing has a series of black, white-edged spots. The much paler female has a diffuse white subapical patch. In both sexes, the hindwing is prominently angled at vein 4. The species has the typical behaviour of the Riodininae, often found in shaded forested areas. The butterfly has a habit of perching on leaves with half opened wings and twisting, turning and hopping from leaf to leaf. The species has greenish yellow eyes.
