Description from Seitz

For a key to the terms used, see Glossary of entomology terms.

raddei Brem. (55d) stands entirely apart in facies; a remarkable species, which must be placed in the present genus [Neptis] as it agrees with the same in its morphological characters. Moore has erected for its reception a special genus, Aldania. Ground-colour white, dusted with grey-brown at the margins, the base and along the veins, the veins themselves blackish, a row of dark lunules along the margin, being especially distinct on the underside. — Amurland: Bureja Mts., Ussuri.[2]

Biology

The larva feeds on Ulmus propinqua.

Etymology

The name honours Gustav Radde.
