This is an insect of the forest that is sometimes found in the same vicinities of T. terpander. However, it is larger in appearance and has a much longer tail projection at the vein 4 of the hindwing. When the wings are open, this area is coloured pale yellow-orange with purple post-discal spots. They tend to stay in the shades till mid-day where they will retreat deeper into the shady forest. Uncommon.
