Female without discal spot on either wing; the submarginal spots small, partly suppressed, beneath somewhat larger and here there are also faint discal stripes before the abdominal margin of the hindwing. North and South Borneo
Karl Jordan in Seitz (page 105) provides a description differentiating ramaceus as leucothoe from nearby taxa and discussing some forms.
