This species was originally described from a single male and female from Lumu Lumu [a locality at
5500 ft
. on Mt. Kinabalu in Sabah in Borneo]. An additional male from Sabah has been examined in this study and shows only a slight difference in the amount of infuscation at the tip of the wing (fainter than in the
types
). The species was originally described as being unique in possessing orange tibial spurs. Specimens examined in this study show a complex of four species possessing orange to yellow spurs and restricted in range to Sulawesi and Borneo (the other three species being
pallidopsis
,
n. sp.
,
matilei
,
n. sp.
, and
tannia
,
n. sp.
).
