According to Guppy and Shepard (2001), its specific name phlaeas is said to be derived either from the Greek φλέγω (phlégo), "to burn up", or from the Latin floreo, "to flourish". Description The upperside forewings are a bright orange with a dark outside edge border and with eight or nine black spots.
