This can be a very confusing butterfly to ID from its cousins Y. baldus and Y. fasciata because of many similarities in their wing markings. While it has five rings on the underside of its hindwings (the last two ocelli on the tornal area are counted as one) like Y. baldus, it also share the characteristics 2 bands on the undersides like Y. fasciata, which the latter has incidently six rings (always the same rules) and they are aligned in a line almost continuously. Common in all localities especially at open fringes of lowland forest and mid-elevation.
