The black bands very much reduced, a narrow band in the middle of the cell, not extending beyond the median vein; under surface glossy white; hindwing with black-brown discal band which runs almost straight from the costal margin to the red anal spot. 1. and 2. subcostals of the forewing distally confluent with the costa. Guatemala, British Honduras and (doubtfully) Yucatán; most of the specimens in collections come from the woods in northern Verapaz, Guatemala.[2]
Uncommon. No known threats.[3]
The name honours Osbert Salvin.
