Diagnosis.
This species is a typical representative of the genus
Scoliokona
. It is somewhat similar to
Scoliokona kalliesi
Arita & Riefenstahl, 2004
, which is known from
Burma
and
Thailand
. The latter species, however, has orange antennae, labial palps and patagia and more extensive dark marking on the hindwing.
