Hindwing: a black costal spot just before the apex, otherwise uniform white.

Hindwing: basal two-thirds irrorated more or less thickly with black scales, with the exception of a short, very broad, inwardly oblique band of the ground colour, that extends from the middle of the costa to within the upper portion of the discoidal cell; the outer margin of the area irrorated with black scales is transverse from costa to interspace 5, thence curved outwards to vein 4 and obliquely to vein 1a.

Antennae brown, paler at their apices; head fuscous; thorax and abdomen black; beneath: whitish.

Female upperside similar to that in the male, but the black markings on the forewing broader, more conspicuous and extended lower along the termen than in the male; on the hindwing the black costal spot larger, with in most specimens a well-marked spot also in interspace 3, and in many a series of detached terminal black spots at the apices of the veins.

Hindwing: the terminal series of black spots of the upperside diffuse, more or less continuous or coalescing and washed over with a greenish tint.
