Features

They are medium-sized with deep brown back and reddish-brown wings. In the wet-season form, there are several spots on the hindwings. In the dry-season form, these spots are smaller, blurred, or even absent. Their flights are low and in short distance.

Behaviour

They often rotate their bodies in place when landed. While resting, their wings are typically half-open.
