The forewings are black without spots, which reminds me of the female of O. goliath titan (e.g. individual 01182), in whose range this specimen was collected. This may be an example of Müllerian mimicry, in which poisonous species resemble each other to facilitate learning by their natural enemies (mainly birds). (Yasui).
