Other Common Names
Northern Ringlet

I only saw a couple of these, on the grassy slopes near a hilltop close to Cairns where this species was competing for territories with the more numerous Mycalesis terminus. On the wing the two species look fairly similar, though their flight is different, with H. irius flying in that manner so typical of other Hypocysta species.
