The forewings are purple-black with four roundish yellow spots, the first on the inner margin near the base, the second (largest) in the disc before the middle, the third on the inner margin before the anal angle and the fourth on the costa beyond the third. The hindwings are yellow, with the apical fourth dark purple-fuscous.
