Forewing: costa very narrow along its apical half, termen evenly and a little more broadly from apex to tornus, edged with brown; the area on the disc, in the cell and beyond it is covered with hair-like specialized scales and is distinctly darker.

Cilia of both forewings and hindwings white, with their basal halves evenly dark brown.

Forewings and hindwings: suffused with purplish blue at base, and with anteciliary black lines.

Underside: as in the male but the markings more regular, more evenly and neatly defined, and the white transverse lines on the forewing carried to the dorsal margin.

[4][5] Individuals show notable variations in coloration, compared to specimens from other regions of South Africa (e.g Witsand).
