There are indistinct antemedial, postmedial and submarginal curved dark bands and the orbicular and reniform spots are indistinct, the former figure-of-8 shaped, the latter elongate. There is also an oblique black apical streak and a marginal lunulate line. The hindwings are white with an indistinct medial fuscous line and a broad blackish marginal band.[3]
