[2][3] The larvae feed on Randia dumetorum, Eriobotrya japonica, Psidium guajava, Tamarindus indica, Strychnos nux-vomica and Gardenia latifolia.

Cilia of both wings with the basal part black, the outer half white, becoming bluish grey below the tail and round the anal lobe.

Underside vinous-grey, or slaty-grey, markings darker than the ground colour, edged on both sides with white.

Hlndwing with similar discoidal bar and discal band, the latter somewhat irregular, the third, fourth and sixth spots a little outside the others, then the band with a sudden curve reaches the abdominal margin a little below its middle; anal lobe black with a white spot on its upper inner side, a smaller black spot ringed with orange in the first interspace, with some blue, grey and white scaling between them; both wings with indications of a narrow sub-marginal band and very fine marginal grey line.

Forewing with the colour darkening towards the margins, the orange-ochreous patch larger and more distinct and varying much in extent, in some examples extending broadly to the base below the median vein.
