ochreous very narrow lunular band, between which is a very slender discal broken 
sinuous line; base of wing with a slightly-defined pale yellow dot above the cell 
and two very slender curved lines across the cell. Underside. Ground-colour pale 
yellowish-ochreous ; the discal band, as above, ochreous-white; basal irregular 
markings dark ochreous-red narrowly edged with yellow, the veins basally also 
yellow ; discal area medially clouded with dark ochreous-red and traversed by an 
inner slender sinuous black-edged yellow line and an outer diffused yellow lunular 
line, followed by two marginal slender black lines ; a medial series of lilacine-white 
dots, the middle pair on the forewing being the largest and represent those of the 
upperside.
