On the forewing, there is a brown discocellular spot bordered white, plus a transverse discal row and a submarginal row of similar spots. On the hindwing, there is a black costal spot bordered white, four transverse subbasal spots, and one spot near the base of the abdominal margin; there is also a brown discocellular spot bordered white, a transverse discal row of similar spots, and a marginal row of six prominent black conical spots speckled with metallic-green.
