  ## Description from Seitz
  
  A. doris Leech (male 64e, female 64f) again closely resembles burejana, but also recalls strigosa[subspecies of Araschnia burejana]. It differs from both in the more rounded wings and in the markings of the distal marginal area of the hindwing. On the latter the blue-spotted submarginal band is absent, being replaced by a row of rounded or partly quadrangular black spots, also the underside of the hindwing exhibiting some essential differences, so that the specific distinctness appears to be established. — Central and West China (June, July).
