Adults are dark cupreous, the forewings with three irregular dark metallic-blue bands and with a silvery white point near the tip of the costa. The fringe is silvery white, except towards the interior border. The hindwings have a broad abbreviated irregular semihyaline (almost glasslike) white stripe.[2]
