This butterfly was common in the hills and could be frequently encountered in Fraser's Hills on the way down to Jeriau, often seen sunning itself in open spaces along the roadsides. As its name suggests, it has a rather ash-grey band that continues from the hindwings up to the edge of the apex on the forewings (uppersides), narrowing as it reaches the forewing apex.
