The median band of the hind wing is widened in cellules 4 and 5 and on the under surface the hindwing has always broad red streaks in the cell and in cellule 8 and at the distal margin the whitish marginal spots are proximally prolonged into red, black-edged streaks and the veins bordered by grey lines.

Forewing beneath reddish to yellow-brown in the cell and at the base of cellule 1 b-In the typeform cabira Hpff.

agrees with apecida above, but differs beneath in the marginal band of the hindwing being almost uniform black without light and dark streaks and in the absence of the red spots between the basal dots.

(56 c) only differs from the type-form in not having the hindmarginal spot on the upper side of the forewing prolonged towards the base but terminating at the origin of vein 2.

biraca Suff, differs in having the hindmarginal spot on the upper side of the forewing prolonged in 1 b to the base.

[4] It is found from the eastern subtropical forest areas of South Africa, through Eswatini, Zimbabwe,[3] and to Uganda, the Congo and Kenya.
