The chocolate jungle queen ranges from Sikkim, Assam and Nagaland in India and also in Bhutan.

The hindwing hosts a yellow band along the terminal margin, bearing paired, lunular, brown marks in the interspaces.

Its underside is dark ochraceous, paler towards the apex of the forewing, with transverse markings: subbasal and median dark brown sinuous lines, bordered, the former on the inside, the latter on the outside, by narrow bands of greenish blue; a discal series of obscure ocelli, some of them pale spots; a postdiscal and a subterminal dark highly-sinuous line, the former ending in a black tornal spot outwardly margined with pink.

The ground colour up to the median black transverse line is chocolate-brown; beyond, the forewing from costa to vein 4 is light ochraceous, inwardly paling to white below vein 1; the hindwing is crossed by a diffuse dark brown band; ocelli as in the male, followed by a dull ochraceous-brown postdiscal area.

The terminal margins are broadly brown, inwardly defined and crossed subterminally by sinuous dark lines.
