There is a pale median band on the forewing upperside which is separated into two patches. Occasionally the patches are connected into a continuous transverse band, but if so, the band so formed is strongly constricted. The hindwing upperside is almost unicolorous, darkened distally, without distinct bands and with a conspicuous white tip.

There are probably multiple generations per year.

The larvae have been recorded feeding on Ficus microcarpa, Ficus prinoides, Ficus ovalis and Artocarpus integrifolia.
