Schultze is very similar to nobilis, but differs in having the forewing narrower with the distal margin little excised, in the larger, dull sulphur-yellow marginal spots of the forewing, in the blue-grey band, up to 4 mm.

in breadth, which in cellules 2-6 separates the median band of the hindwing from the black marginal band, in the larger and more complete white transverse spots in the cell of the forewing beneath, in the black, white-spotted marginal band on the underside of the hindwing, which is only half as broad as in nobilis (about 5 mm.)

in breadth in cellule 2, and in the white markings in the apical half of the fore wing beneath.

Schultze observed this beautiful species drinking in a native latrine.
