Male genitalia of examples from Yala and Mae Hong Son are close to H.scissa, but white markings on the upperside of the forewing is very similar to H.arcuata.
These characteristics are same as H.fushigina from Sumatra. Although Uehara & Masui,2016 treated it as subspecies of H.scissa, I consider it is distinct species.
This is the first record from Thailand. The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forest at moderate elevation (alt.700m - 800m) and is often found on the hilltops.
