Biology — First stages and foodplant unknown. All known specimens have been collected in July. Distribution — Known from Western Pakistan. Locus typicus: Swat, Kalam, 2000 m. Specific differences — Externally, the new species resembles the greyish exemplars of Catarina suboxydata STGR., but differs essentially by the very light hind wings.
