MORPHOLOGY
External characteristics
Male
Wingspan (mm): 60 - 66 (DBpedia, n.d.).
Forewings: The wing surface has a chiefly white colouration (Pequin, 2021). Hindwings The hindwing has a black coloured discal area over which the white coloured veins show out very strongly (Pequin, 2021).
Female
The females generally have a different underside wing surface than the males, by being darker with broader margins on both wings (D'Abrera, 1982).
Subspecies and variation
Three subspecies are described. The ssp. clathrata and ssp. limata differ from each other, in that the latter one has a submedian band of smaller spots, emphasizing the lines along the veins. Ssp. parsoni is a blacker subspecies form (Pequin, 2021).
