Description
The branded evening brown is 75 to 85 mm in wingspan and broadly resembles the Melanitis evening browns, with a strong purple tinge above. The upper forewing has a narrow yellow apical band which does not reach the termen. The male has a large black brand on the upper forewing at the bases of 2 to 5 and the end cell.[3]
Habits
It is a low-elevation butterfly.[3]

gollark: Possibly. People *allegedly* use them for real world applications occasionally.

gollark: `let 2 + 2 = 5 in 2 + 2` is totally valid (but undefined for anything but `2 + 2`).
