The wings have a second pale yellow band on the underside, on the inner side of the postdiscal/submarginal band. There is also a bit of pale yellow marking below the red tornal band on the hindwings. The forewings are red at the costa from base to just before mid-costa., and there are a few red basal spots below the red costal band.
