Grey-brown. Wings striated with brown ; fore wing with 

 an obscure antemedial line; a pale red-edged postmedial line 

 angled at veins 4 and 6 ; a dark triangular mark on middle of 

 outer margin. Hind wing similar ; a subbasal line from median 

 nervure to inner margin ; a brown line on discocellulars ; the 

 postmedial line very highly angled at vein 4, and with a chestnut 

 line on each side of it converging to the angle ; a series of greyish 

 lunules striated with brown and defined by whitish lines and 

 streaks on outer margin between the tails. 



In typical rhagavata the postmedial line of the fore wing is 

 hardly angled, and the lunules on outer margin of hind wiug extend 

 nearly to anal angle ; some specimens have dark blotches on the 

 inner margin of both wings inside the postmedial lines.
