Resembling the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potanthus" class="extiw" title="w:Potanthus">Potanthus</a> species, the butterflies are about of the same size and frequent the same localities. As it is most likely to be confused with the several <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potanthus" class="extiw" title="w:Potanthus">Potanthus</a> and  <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriens" class="extiw" title="w:Oriens">Oriens</a> species, its existence could probably have been underestimated. The butterfly flies with the usual <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesperiidae" class="extiw" title="w:Hesperiidae">Hesperiidae</a> "hopping" flight and rests with its wings folded up or half open as it basks in the sun.
