 almost hidden by the grey hairs above it, the wings are broader than in rectivitta, and 

 the glandular patch of scales on the hindwing on the upperside is ochreous-grey and 

 very prominent. Underside coloration paler than in rectivitta, with an ochreous tint, 

 the discal lines are well curved outwardly and are outwardly edged with white, and the 

 double lines at the anal angle above the lobe are more widely separated and are black, 

 with prominent white edgings, the tail-spot is small and the anal lobe spot large, both 

 pure black.
