(56 c) is similar above to the preceding species and has the same light yellow markings.

The hindmarginal spot of the forewing is, however, much broader, completely covering the base of cellule 2, and the median band of the hindwing is 6-8 mm.

The under surface differs in the smaller number of the black dots in the basal area of the hindwing; in the cell and in cellule 7 these are connected by red streaks.
