Male. Upperside pure white. Forewing with the base of costal border marked 
with slender black outwardly-oblique strim ; a black apical marginal band which is 
broad anteriorly and angled at the radial veinlet, and from thence to the middle 
median narrow and macular; in the discal interspace of upper and middle median is a 
large black outwardly-oblique quadrate spot, which more or less slightly extends over 
each veinlet, and sometimes a few scales from its lower outer end reach the opposite 
marginal spot. Hindwing either unmarked, or (probably wet brood) with an outer 
marginal black fine slender broken line. Underside white. Forewing with the costal 
border and apex more or less faintly tinted with olivescent-yellow and flecked with 
delicate dusky-grey short strigas, the extreme outer margin being slenderly black 
scaled between the veins. Bindwing crossed by very slender dusky-grey irregular 
strigae, those across the upper and lower discal area being more regular and form
