Synonyms
This species was formerly classified as Ogyris subterrestris petrina; it was elevated to species status in 2023.
Notes
This species is only known from a few sites in WA. It was first found in a small area near Mukinbudin in WA, which is where I photographed it in late October 2016. There were a fair number of these butterflies on the wing at the time, which was very encouraging.
