The butterfly is found in India from Sikkim to Assam, and extends to Karens and onto Yunnan.

The forewings and hindwings are slender, dark anteciliary lines, but are otherwise uniform.

The forewing is a transverse pale-edged fascia of a shade darker than the ground colour, as follows: one across middle of cell from costa to median vein, another from costa over the discocellulars to lower apex of cell, a discal curved fascia from costa to vein three, a spot below it shifted inwards; a transverse subterminal series of broad lunules of the same shade followed by a line of spots and an anteciliary slender line.

There are terminal markings as are on the forewing, but the lunules of the subterminal series are inwardly somewhat hastate (spear shaped), the row of spots beyond them each inwardly conical; a prominent black subterminal spot in interspace two, is inwardly ochraceous, and outwardly speckled with metallic blue scales.

Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen are a dull, purplish brown.
