Two shining white fasciae - a prominent subcostal streak in the middle of the wing, nearly one third of wing length, contiguous with white dorsum of head above the eyes when at rest and with softly rounded distal end; a strong transverse, slightly sinuous, band at mid-length, inclined towards the apex as it approaches the termen, varying in width from almost parallel-sided to hourglass-shaped or even in two discrete parts when the centre portion is missing. Apical quarter of the wing with some indistinct white patches, each comprising only a few scales an apical patch, a series of marginal spots along costa and termen, and an ill-defined median spot. Fringes black, white-tipped.

Sclerite 9 short, same length as S6 along ventral mid-line; its dorsal arms separated at apices, concave antero-lateral margin only slightly thickened. Valvae simple, short, with a very broad, slightly concave posterior margin, 1.4x longer than wide; inner surface with scattered simple, slightly curved retro-setae, reaching their highest density around the posterodorsal angle. Tergum 10 uniquely divided into two separate rounded lobes, each with a posterior vertical face extending to anal cone.
