Cirrochroa orissa, the banded yeoman, is an Indomalayan species of heliconiine butterfly described by Cajetan and Rudolf Felder in 1860.[2]
Hindwings along the subcostal nervules with yellow sexual strigae, which in the basal half accompany also the submedian and lower median, being quite conspicuous upon the red-brown ground-colour.On the forewing 2 or 3 radial stripes encroach upon the black colour of the apical portion. On the under surface the predominating colour is yellow, the distal half of the hindwings reddish-brown. The fore wings are traversed by a broad cream-coloured diagonal band; hindwings similar so those of Cirrochroa satellita, but with a more sharply defined longitudinal band having an intense lustre of mother-of-pearl.[3]
