According to Watson this species " differs from moorei in having only four spots 

 on the npperside in the male, two discal and two subapical, and the fringe is 

 unicolorous throughout ; in what appears to be the female there is an additional 

 minute subapical spot, a minute indistinct spot at upper angle of cell, and the usual 

 spot peculiar to the female on the submedian. On the underside of the hind wing 

 all the spots are much diffused and irrorated with yellow. It is also a considerably 

 larger insect, the male expanding 42 mm. and the female 43 mm."
