There is a postmedian band of intranervular coalescent golden-yellow patches, the upper four wedge-shaped, the lower four arrowhead-shaped, the points of all truncated. The hindwings are the same ground-colour, but with only six patches in the postmedian band, all of which are arrowhead-shaped, the lower three only having their points truncated.
