series of small to large white spots on the forewings, that form a dashed line in a
somewhat v-shaped pattern, while a series of elongated black spots form an
obscure subterminal band. There is a also a reddish-orange spot bordered with
black near the middle of the forewing's apex. Above, the hindwings are dark
greenish grey-brown, with a series
spots outwardly bordered with black,
whilst the outer edge is
greenish-blue, each cell with
a black subquadrate
spot at the centre, whilst
the innermost cell at the bottom, is in
part reddish-orange. The underside
is dark purplish brown with some ochre colouring, whilst the markings are
as those on the upperside, but somewhat
larger and more clearly defined.
