_Upper Side._ Antennæ black. Head, thorax, and abdomen grey-brown.
Anterior wings grey-brown, thin, and slightly diaphanous, with a small
light-coloured bar running from the anterior edge near the tips to the
posterior. Posterior wings having one-third next the body grey-brown,
divided by a line drawn across the wings from the anterior to the
abdominal edges; next to this is an angulated white patch, the rest of
these wings being orange-coloured, with two black eyes, having white
centres, placed one at the upper, the other at the abdominal corners, the
former having a small white spot joining to its upper part. The edges of
these wings are bordered with dark brown.
_Under Side._ Palpi, legs, breast, and abdomen cream-coloured. Anterior
wings next the tips tinged with red-brown; the remainder of the wings
being of the same colour as on the upper side. Posterior wings next the
body pale clay, which occupies half the wings; below which is a white
bar, the remainder of the wings being dark orange: the two black eyes are
very small on this side, and the white spot above them not so distinct.
These wings are larger than is generally observed among insects of this
tribe, and are dentated, the anterior ones being entire.
