External characteristics

Forewings: The upper side wing surface is ochreous orange coloured. The forewing underside basal half is extensively ochreous orange coloured. The plume scale is long (Yata and Morishita, 1979).
Female
The females generally have a different underside wing surface than the males, by being darker with broader margins on both wings (D'Abrera, 1982). The outer border on the upper side wing surface is black coloured and better developed, it usually enters the forewing cell (Yata and Morishita, 1979).
