This is a sub-species of the Great Eggfly, Hypolimnas bolina bolina and are found in the same habitats of the later. The males are quite similar but the females are strikingly different: the uppersides are almost dark brown with a splash of iridiscent blue on the uppersides of the forewings and has a more pronounced submarginal band on the hindwings.
