Hind wings black, the fold powdered with orange scales.Basal patch very small, Indian yellow; a narrow white costal band expands into an irregular transverse band, reaching nervure 2, but constricted and nearly divided in the middle; along the nervures this white band extends in a series of sharp points.Beyond this is a band of six irregular yellow spots, the four lower ones being connected to the costa by narrow white lines. There is an interrupted white marginal line, and the fringes of the hind wings are mostly white.
