This is a little-known species native to the alpine and subalpine grasslands of southeastern Australia. It has distinctive eye spots that help it camouflage among the grasses. This butterfly is highly dependent on undisturbed native grassland ecosystems, making it particularly vulnerable to habitat loss from grazing, weed invasion, and climate change. Its restricted range and specialised habitat requirements have led to concerns for its long-term conservation. It is listed as ‘Critically Endangered’ under the EPBC Act.
