It is distinguishable from most related species by the partial fusion and apical pinkish flush of the pale yellow spots of the median band of the hindwing upperside.

There is also a black basal patch and conspicuous longitudinal golden-yellow bands on either side of the anterior part of the abdomen.

The apical area on the forewing underside is pale buff on the costa, contrasting strongly with the orange-yellow ground colour.

The median band of the hindwing upperside has pale yellow spots which are indistinct.

The edges of these sports are suffused with orange-brown and in general, the three apical spots are more or less fused.
