The forewings are dark purplish red with a small annulus in the base of the cell, a larger one at the middle and a discocellular annulus with black margins and purple-red centres. The outer margin is red with some dark suffusion inside it at the costa. There are some white points on the costa towards the apex and a marginal series. The hindwings are fuscous.[4]
