The underside of the forewing is grey yellow with a peach-pink area extending from the disc to the dorsum.
zingha Stoll Both wings above deep black with a common red-yellow or red-brown transverse band; on the forewing this is triangular, extends from the hindmargin to vein 6, reaches the base at the hindmargin and encloses a rounded black spot in the basal part of cellules 2 and 3; on the hindwing it covers the basal area and extends distad to vein 3; the black distal area is ornamented with some red-yellow marginal spots and some white dots at the anal angle.
The hindwing beneath is broadly grey-yellow at the costal margin in cellules 7 and 8, with 5 or 6 rounded black spots, then very gaily coloured, the whitish or red-brown ground-colour being divided into spots by a network of numerous black transverse streaks and lines; the anal lobe is yellow at the distal margin.
