Morphological Features

Ventral hindwing with a central elongated silvery spot having a rather straight inner margin and only slightly sinuous outer margin, connected to a silvery spot at the end of the discal cell; this spot is about half the width of the larger spot, broad comma-shaped on the right hindwing, an hourglass-shaped silvery spot in the cell Sc+R1-RS, a nearly obsolete irregular postdiscal band of paler scales framing a narrow darker band; between this band and the silvery spots, the wing is overscaled in the middle with pale orangish-brown, with pale violaceous overscaling by the outer margin. Forewing semihyaline spots are more rounded, the spot in the cell M3-CuA1 is broad, nearly square.
