. Upperside ground colour is white, with light blue scaling at the base of both wings, which extends into the cell (covering approximately one-third of the cell) also along the veins to a variable length. The forewing apex is broadly black, only slightly tapering down along the outer margin. The forewing costa is also narrowly black beyond veins 8, 9 and 10.

prominent black streak is present at the end of the discoidal cell. The hindwing has only a narrow black margin, with inconspicuous black sub-marginal spots in spaces between veins 1 and 7, except in space between veins 2 and 3, where a prominent black round-spot is present. The spot is ringed with orange basally. The veins are black, more strongly in the outer half of the wings.

fine hair-tail is present at the end of vein 2 of the hindwing. The underside is white with a slight light-brown tinge and very light whitish-blue scaling in the base of both wings. The black upperside markings are visible only as a pale brown shade, five brown spots forming a post-median line in spaces between veins 2 and 7 of the forewing, the central spot is more like a streak, protruding slightly from the line. On the hindwing a rather irregular median line is formed by seven, more or less circular brown spots, the central of which is characteristically long and elliptic. Four black dots are also present in the sub-basal area of the hindwing, two along the inner margin (the basal one is very small and inconspicuous), one in the cell and one near the costa.

Permanent foraging activity of the elephants has resulted in a diverse network of open clearings dominated by grasses and ferns and regenerating young trees and shrubs between fragments of old-growth thick submontane forest. Such open habitats have already been discussed to be crucial for various (sub)montane butterflies of the region (
