The Common Maplet, Chersonesia risa risa (Doubleday)

Has all the habits of Chersonesia and are found in the same localities as such but mostly confined to lower mid-elevations. Both males and females visit flowers of the Chromolaena and Lantana but males are also found puddling on seepages and damp forest floor. The species can easily be set apart from others by its rather straight FW termen and the markings are aligned to it, giving the FW an acute appearance.
