Superficially it is very similar to Junonia ansorgei, and the author seems to have a hard time arguing that it should be viewed as an altogether separate species, relying on it's biogeographic separation from J. ansorgei as a main support for his conclusion.
Since the butterfly is only known from a 10 kmsq area, and sub-montane/montane forest are very limited in the region, the author suggests the species is critically endangered.
