There is a dark Y-shaped suffusion from the tornus enclosing the costal triangle. The subterminal area is pale purple-tinged, containing a transverse series of longitudinal transverse streaks and there is a fuscous terminal line preceded by a pale line. The hindwings are fuscous with a large yellow costal triangle.[2]
