Wings above dark ochraceous ; anterior wings with the neuration, a broad oblique diseal fascia, — 

 commencing at end of cell where it is broadest and ending at submediau nervure, — and a series of outer 

 marginal more or less elongate spots placed between the nervules,— of which the two uppermost are longest 

 mid the third and fourth shortest, — black; the diseal fascia has its central area paler in hue; posterior 

 wings with the costal and basal areas, — excluding cell, — a broad scalloped outer marginal fascia widening

Mr. Moore thus diagnoses his species: — "Allied to 1'. ttiujias, Linn,, from typical Java specimens 

 of which it differs in its somewhat broader and less pointed wings. Markings above similar, but more 

 defined, the borders of the wings blacker, the basal yellow streak on hind wing confined to a terminal spot 

 at the end of the cell, and the abdominal border 3 slack. On the underside the markings are also more 

 clearly defined and the interspaces blacker."
