There is also a series of bands formed by whitish spots and organized as follows: a broken antemedial band, a slightly curved medial band and a sinuous postmedial band. The hindwings are whitish and slightly tinged with grey on the apex and along the costa. The ventral pattern is more contrasting, deep brown centered with yellowish brown.

Etymology

The species is named in honor of Daniel Herbin, specialist of Saturniidae.
