The hindwings also have an iridescent blue tint from the base to the postdiscal region, in line with the demarcation of the blue tint on the forewings. The underside of the wings is a marbled dark brown, light brown and black. The forewings have a subapical black ocellus with a small white spot and a yellowish-brown outline. The hindwings have two ocelli, one located at the postbasal region and one located almost centrally. The postbasal ocellus is brown and has a small yellowish partial crescent and a black outline. The other larger ocellus is black and has a faint white crescent and a yellowish outline, followed by dark brown then black outlines.
