About Oriens goloides (Moore, 1881)
Oriens goloides (Moore, 1881) has a dark purple-brown upperside. For males: the forewing has an oblique, sinuous discal band of golden yellow, followed by small costal spots before the apex. The base of the costa, the cell, and two spots at the end of the cell are also golden yellow. The hindwing has a medial discal sinuous golden-yellow band, and the hairy scales that extend to the base are also yellow. The cilia are golden yellow. On the underside, markings matching those on the upperside are less distinct; the costa and apex of the forewing, as well as the entire hindwing, are suffused with yellow. The body and legs are golden-yellow, while the palpi and the front of the thorax beneath are saffron-yellow. Females differ from males only in having a narrower discal band, and in lacking the yellow costal streak. This species is nearest allied to Oriens gola. It differs from O. gola on both sides in having a narrower forewing discal band that is also disconnected from the costal spots, and the hindwing band is also narrower. The larvae of this species are known to feed on Axonopus compressus and Oplismenus compositus.
