Underside. Forewing greyish-white ; with the outer black band subapically 
restricted and narrow, the apical area being pale yellow, the spots of upperside being 
slightly indicated, the black disco cellular dot also visible. Hindwing pale yellow, 
with more or less very slightly-defined brownish-scaled discal and submarginal 
zigzag fascias, and a distinct black discocellular dot. 
Female. Upperside fuliginous-black. Forewing with a central longitudinal 
greyish-white patch, its outer edge being sinuous and its basal area dark grey scaled; 
two small oblique sub apical white spots; cilia white posteriorly. Hindiving with 
the basal and discal area greyish fuliginous-brown and the veins greyish-white lined, 
the cell and abdominal area with long fine grey hairs; two upper sub marginal small 
greyish-white spots; cilia white. Underside. Forewing with similar black outer 
border, shaped as on upperside, the apex being ochreous-yellow, and the white spots 
less defined ; discal area greyish-white, the base suffused with sulphur-yellow. 
Hindiving ochreous-yellow, very sparsely irrorated with minute brown scales, 
irregularly traversed by a discal and submarginal zigzag brown-scaled fascise, and 
outer marginal white interspaces; a brown discocellular dot.

Male. Somewhat smaller than wet-season form. Upperside. Similar. Foretving 
with narrower and less prominent black outer band, which ends usually above the lower 
median veinlet, and its enclosed white spots generally larger, there being usually five 
in number. Hindwing unmarked. Underside. Forewing with the outer black band 
narrower than in wet form and obsolescent posteriorly, or entirely absent, its position 
indicated only by a few dark scales, the apex being pale yellowish-white speckled 
with brownish scales. Hindiving pale yellowish-white, more or less speckled with 
minute brown scales and traversed by a discal and submarginal zigzag fascia, but in 
some specimens these brown scales and fascise are almost obsolete; the discocellular 
black dot always present. 
Female. Upperside. Forewing with broader greyish-white area and less black- 
scaled posterior border than in wet form. Hindwing with the basal and discal area 
greyish-white, the outer black border enclosing a submarginal row of large whitish 
irregular-shaped spots. Underside similar to wet form. Forewing with the black 
outer band somewhat narrower and with a white spot at the posterior angle. Hind - 
wing more numerously brown scaled.
