The forewings are ferruginous with a very oblique wedge-shaped yellow-whitish patch from near the base of the costa to the fold, sometimes suffused with ground colour beneath.

A thick dark red-brown longitudinal streak is found from the base of the dorsum to one-third, surrounded with violet iridescence, followed by a subdorsal spot of leaden suffusion.

There is a violet-silvery white oblique trapezoidal patch resting on the middle of the costa, one angle reaching three-fourths across the wing, the other forming a short acute projection posteriorly near the costa.

Beyond this, a yellow-ochreous spot edged white on the costa and cut by a very oblique fine spatulate violet-metallic striga crosses half the wing and there is a streak of whitish suffusion running from the apex of the silvery costal patch to the tornus.

A spot of bluish-silvery suffusion is found on the tornus and there is a small spot of blackish suffusion towards the apex, as well as a fine blackish line around the tornus.
