The fore and hind wing colouring of the upper surface, and absence of a definite pattern, distinguish mittoni from all but two other species in the genus, metaphaea and artaxoides. M. metaphaea is of darker colouring and, unlike mittoni, the female has a modified papilla analis. M. artaxoides and mittoni can be separated on differences in the scobinate bar. The bar in mittoni is more convex and closely packed with upward of 40 spicules (Text-figs 97, 98); in artaxoides the spicules are sparsely scattered and rarely exceed 20 in number (Text-fig. 95)..
