The postmedial line is dark tinged with yellow, excurved and waved between veins 5 and 2, then retracted to below the angle of the cell and angled outwards below the submedian fold. There is a similar faint line beyond it and a red-brown terminal line. The hindwings are white, the terminal area tinged with sulphur-yellow except at the tornus. There is a dark discoidal bar and the postmedial line is dark, bent outwards and waved between veins 5 and 2, then retracted to below the angle of the cell and erect to the inner margin.
