The forewings have a broad white central band and the area on the outer side of this band (including the apex and subapex) is dark brown. The forewings have a few black discal markings. The underside of the wings has a mix of dark brown, greyish-brown, white and orange. The dorsum and cell above the dorsum of the forewings are dark brown. The remaining area from base to the central white band is grayish-brown with black markings. The apical and subapical region of the forewings have nine small dark brown markings. The underside of the hindwings is greyish-brown with dark brown and black markings. The hindwings has a postdiscal band (with a dark brown wavy outline) containing two double black ocelli - each with a dark brown outline. There are a few black postbasal and discal markings. The hindwings also have a distinctive orange streak running from base to mid-termen. The body is dark brown on the upperside and light brown on the underside.
