There is an antemedial chocolate band, followed by spot in the cell. There is also a medial series of three bars, a postmedial bar from the costa to vein 5 and a series of elongated spots between the veins, as well as a subterminal series of elongated spots from below vein 8 to the inner margin, confluent with a postmedial series between veins 1 and 2 and between 3 and 5. A terminal orange band expands below vein 2 with an orange shade beyond the lower angle of the cell. The hindwings contain a medial series of four chocolate spots, a postmedial series of spots above veins 2 to 5 and a subterminal series of elongated spots, as well as a terminal orange band and a slight orange shade beyond the lower angle of the cell.
