Key to species of Fibigerges based on the external characters

The species of the subgenus are often very similar externally, the satisfactory identification often requires the study of the genitalia.

1 fore wing ground colour uniformly dark brownish with paler brown basal costal stripe; hind wing with darker grey suffusion ( Figs 19–20 ) mariannae

– fore wing ground colour paler, fore wing patter more complex and vivid in colouration; hind wing brilliant white ( Figs 21–28, 32 ) 2

2 hind wing almost pure white, without darker shadow and/or ochreous shade; fore wing shorter, less elongated and pointed, pale zone along inner margin more whitish-greyish; subapical orange-brownish patch smaller, less conspicuous ( Fig. 21 ) hoerhammeri

– hind wing with wider darker shadow, especially around termen and on veins; fore wing longer, apically more pointed, pale zone along inner margin more brownish; subapical orange-brownish patch bright, large, conspicuous ( Figs 22–28, 32 ) atlas and millierei
