Notes

Hitherto, only one male type specimen of the species is known.
Corbet (1940) mentioned that the genitalia resemble those of pavonica. However, the genitalia of this group are almost identical, and no remarkable differences can be found. The figure in Seitz has reduced blue markings on the upper side of the both wings, and it may be an aberration of Simiskina phalia. Further taxonomic study is needed.
